Pros

I have had a great experience recruiting for Scale Media. The company is filled with talented, driven people who are passionate about building great brands and moving the business forward. Everyone I partnered with was collaborative, approachable, and genuinely invested in finding the right people for the team. One of my favorite aspects of the role was the variety. I had the opportunity to recruit across creative, growth, product, eCommerce, and marketing, which made every day interesting and gave me exposure to a wide range of exceptional talent. The environment is fast-paced, which creates plenty of opportunities to learn, contribute, and make an impact. If you enjoy taking ownership, collaborating with smart people, and helping build high-performing teams, this is a great place to do it.

Cons

Fast-paced environment with evolving priorities Recruiting processes are still maturing Frequent changes require flexibility and adaptability

Constant pivots, low morale, no growth path

Pros

Remote flexibility, generous PTO and mental health days, small monthly WFH stipend

Cons

The company is constantly shifting direction without a clear plan, and executive leadership never really seems aligned. There have been repeated layoffs, no real sense of where the business is going, and a lot of energy poured into AI without it feeling tied to a viable strategy. Morale is dead. People are basically moving through the day like zombies, nodding along to half baked, ChatGPT written strategies because everyone is afraid of ending up in the next round of layoffs. Growth is beyond limited, it’s virtually nonexistent. Roles can and probably will change significantly from what you were hired to do, and it’s very easy to end up owning outcomes without having the authority, context, or support to actually drive them.

Unstable. Messy. Low Morale. Lots of Layoffs. Toxic.

Pros

- I met really talented people that I still connect with today - improved my skill set

Cons

the negative reviews on here are true. not an exaggeration. at all. after the first wave of layoffs, the company was never the same. Dont get me wrong, im aware that a company isnt a "family," but higher ups are ruthless and love a good blame game. I had 5-6+ managers. Why? They couldnt figure out what kind of person they needed and constantly threatened to fire them and/or their team members. I was a victim of a layoff. I don't have ill will towards anyone. I don't feel angry towards them, but they need to figure things out. I waited a long time to write this in an effort to be as impartial as i could be. - no room for growth. want a promotion? nope. they'll hire out for that. - job security? ZERO. they did layoffs like clockwork. seems like its still the case :/ - morale is at an all time low.
