Pros

The type of projects we're working on are really varied (could be an Instagram video or could be a full on TV show). It's hard to think of any other digital video company that does all that, this well. The people know how to work hard but still have fun. The founders are both approachable and you can actually get meetings with them if you ask.

Cons

It kind of seems like the company is undergoing a shift, where new higher quality talent is coming in (we just got this amazing guy leading our post department from Spotify). But with that, those who aren't part of that will naturally be sour, so there is some element of a group of people who sound bitter about the company and that's not fun to be around. Fortunately that group is getting smaller and smaller

Hi there, thanks for your feedback! Its unclear when you were employed at Tastemade or the team you were on, but today we have various initiatives and programs that support the things you mentioned in your posting, A few examples of this are: In 2022, we pivoted to using an OKR methodology and have goals set across our business. We believe employees should have clarity and transparency in our business direction and trajectory of our businesses growth. Our current tenure is 33 months. The average turnover in the media industry is 14% and our turnover is 5.4%. This puts us significantly below the the industry average. Beyond that, we are undergoing a huge activity to ensure each employee at Tastemade (both individual contributors and managers) have a clear growth path that includes an understanding of competency based growth. We also launched a mentorship program in 2020 to program and promote professional development. Your pros section highlighted some of our favorite things about Tastemade. Pay equity and being an example for what an inclusive and equitable environment means is a priority to us. We are proud of the work we have done as a people team and through our various diversity initiatives. Again, we thank you for your feedback and praise as this continues to help us grow and improve our organization.
