Hearst reviews

Cut throat culture between various business units and sometimes even within own team. Traditional print advertising is drying up and Hearst continues to under-monetize their beautiful digital properties by 1) internally cannibalizing business based on politics between teams 2) pricing absurdly high and 3) not being creative in the types of advertisers they will work with. Workers are extremely unhappy and the environment is negative each day.

Hiring manager and HR promises opportunities only to eliminate the position due to a "lack of throughput" from businesses in 8 months. Absolutely zero warning and incompetent leadership that don't really care about any details. Avoid Hearst Health at all costs. Management doesn't really know what they're doing and central management isn't really well regarded among the business units they control at all. They simply spend money in order to buy successful companies and ride on their coattails hoping for the best. No strategic goal communicated and management simply spends possibly hundreds of thousands per year traveling back and forth between pointless conferences and "development" forums. Pretty much - have an exit strategy ready to execute at any point in time as management is incompetent at continuity.
