BuzzFeed Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Honestly couldn't say. The location within the city is convenient I guess

The trust in employees and opportunity for feedback -- which the exec team often takes into consideration.

the ERGs and company culture

The environment is very inclusive and it seems as though everyone is supported in bringing their full selves to work everyday.

Review from HR Dept

There are a lot of opportunities to create initiatives and clubs, or take part in what is already offered. There are culture events, parties, fairs, lunches nearly every week. It's pretty much impossible to do it all.

Review from HR Dept

I feel like I can be whomever I want and people will accept me. No need to act a part or be a cookie cutter corporate citizen to be accepted.

Review from HR Dept

Inclusion. Everyone here can bring their authentic self to work

the way that everyone seems positive and happy even if they’re not having a good day

Nice perks, would rather have more money in my pocket, or more money for company projects.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

ok but a lot of stress
