Poor Leadership, Shady Practices
|
|
One of the few remaining entertainment/media/music publishing brands out there.
|
There was little care or respect for writers and content creators. People were let go with little sympathy and bad severance packages (if they were lucky enough to receive one). No real plans from leadership on how to grow successful brands—we watched them mismanage SPIN into the ground. Only a matter of time until the same happens with Vibe.

Some Culture Issues but lots of potential
|
|
Fun subject matter with entertainment.
Access to events
Motivated team looking to improve.
Some pockets of strong leadership, especially in Operations
|
Some leadership are not a strong fit for the company.
Company is losing money so it makes growth difficult.
Could use more communication from the top.

short title for my review
|
|
Billboard & the Hollywood Reporter are amazing brands. The edit/photo/video teams have a lot of heart. HR strives to create morale-boosting activities.
Some wonderful intelligent people here.
|
Sales is set up like Lord of the Flies. Budgetary and staffing decisions feel amateurish and not in the best interest of the people actually getting the work done, rather in the self-interest of the management. Chaotic, no method to the madness, always feels like a company being primed for a sale.

The talent you have or have had and lost, are not as expendable as you treat them to be. New acquisitions and wheeling and dealing (and playing at being a company) are not the key to success. Or good karma for that matter. Every talented person you have will seek to use their talents at your competitors. If you care about this, start behaving accordingly.

Good on paper, but needs authentic culture.
|
|
Access to many powerful people if you make the effort. There are always successful, major activations and stories and events going on, which is good.
|
Too much of a behemoth, but too robotic. Soulless, even. Easy to feel disconnected from the people around you, especially if coming in as an acquired brand. Access to resources is too political.

Invest not only in your "brands," but in the people actually working for them. They matter. Lack of care is more palpable than you think.

Incompetence rises to the top
|
|
Lots of freedom editorially - but to a fault.
|
If you're applying to work at Billboard, make sure you're a white straight man. They may tout a Women in Music event every year, but they consisently promote and hire straight, white men to editorial positions above qualified, hardworking women and minorities. There's been an exodus of female editors after the latest round of reshuffling. Editorial direction is also lacking; everyone works in their own world with little communication.

The editorial team needs a massive overhaul. Would be smart to hire women, LGBT people and POC. I brought this up in my exit interview, and I'm sure it's spread around the office by now given that the HR team are notorious gossip hounds.

Questionable (and illegal) freelancer policies
|
|
The company's brands have enjoyed a huge boost in the past few years. They are very forward thinking with digital content, especially when it comes to video, and there is a lot of room to try new things in those areas.
|
Since Janice Min left her editorial post, the quality of editorial content has plunged, and a lot of talented editors have either left or been fired. That, coupled with some questionable marketing of the brands gives the company a less optimistic outlook than it had a year ago. There was also a good amount of sexism coming from the mostly-male senior staff.

The company has already gotten itself into hot water with labor laws pertaining to freelance hiring. Please adhere to stricter guidelines and make parameters more clear—unless you want more lawsuits. Also, remember that without quality journalism and content, you'll lose access to and the respect of the talent you work with (MTV anyone?).

They managed to hire a great team, smart informed people
|
Went through 7 publishers while I was there. Each publisher came onboard with a different agenda and action plan. CEO focused on larger Prometheus initiatives and not the small media publications and websites.

Sloppy loveable mess
|
|
Fun, smart co-workers who know the music industry inside and out
|
Hilariously under-qualified people leading departments because of their connection to Janice Min. lots of talent, but also lots of senior level editors and dept heads that don't foster growth and turn the place into a revolving door.
