Pros

-The hybrid work model offers flexibility, which is appreciated. -Lunch is affordable, making it convenient for employees. -Most employees are friendly and supportive, creating a sense of camaraderie among peers.

Cons

My experience at Hearst has been deeply disappointing due to a toxic work culture perpetuated by certain individuals in leadership. In particular, the Video Director, Amanda Kabbabe, has created an environment that is both demoralizing and unproductive. Her management style is characterized by micromanagement, taking credit for the hard work of her team, and shifting blame onto others when things go wrong. This has led to a lack of trust and motivation among employees. Poor communication and a tendency to sabotage projects to validate her own points only exacerbate the challenges of working under her leadership. Despite numerous reports to HR about her behavior, including instances of mistreatment and unprofessional conduct, there seems to be little to no accountability. The company’s unwillingness to address these issues raises serious concerns about how much they value employee well-being. For anyone considering joining this organization, I strongly urge you to think carefully and seek clarity on how they handle workplace culture and leadership accountability. A company’s success starts with its people, and neglecting such systemic problems will only hinder growth.
