Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Communication is important in our organization
Review from Finance Dept
They seem to respond honestly to questions from employees, transparency is good
Review from Engineering Dept
The leadership team is transparent in the companies goals and the steps taken to get there. They also openly welcome feedback, ideas and general conversation about the same. A very nice change of pace.
Review from Operations Dept
Communicative, forward thinking and respects what the employees find important.
Review from Sales Dept
Everyone has a voice and the leadership really takes the time with great effort to get to know you.
Review from Finance Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
need more than 300 characters
Review from Marketing Dept
Having clear goals and objectives. Promoting/acknowledging team members who deserve it. Taking time to check in with their team members / making sure they are reaching their own career goals.
Review from Marketing Dept
Have a true long term vision for what Leaf Group is striving to be. Since I've joined the company three years ago, there has been minimal change or any real strategy applied to growing this business, other than selling off the entire company to Graham.
Review from Finance Dept
Hold people accountable, set due dates, urge people to act on urgent items, and not pass it off to the next person because the next action item is 'not their job'. too much focus on having a good time and being friendly versus actually doing hard work. then when shit hits the fan, everyone panics.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Unlimited PTO and medical benefits
Review from Finance Dept
I have had great experiences with my health insurance
Review from Engineering Dept
I like being paid... but it was a good conversation in the hiring process and they listened to the compensation request made.
Review from Operations Dept
Comparable to other big companies, reasonable.
Review from Finance Dept
Unlimited paid time off and easy to use medical / dental.
Review from Sales Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
clear pathway to growth / comp
Review from Marketing Dept
I think the overall hiring and promo freezes really hold back talent and while the eventual hiring and compensation bumps are appreciated, the time spent waiting is not really accounted for and therefore feels like lost time.
There is an expectation that team members will take on more work when people quit/are fired/go on maternity leave then are not compensated for it.
Review from Marketing Dept
Given the size of the team that I manage, the daily responsibilities, attention to detail, level of effort, coordination with business units, and technical background required to perform successfully in my position, I don't feel that the company truly values everything that goes into the role.
Review from Finance Dept
I feel I'm under market value in the area
Review from Engineering Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?
We all get along very well and everyone is always open and available to help each other and grow each others abilities.
Review from Engineering Dept
The communication! Working remote can be a struggle but the team always communicates either in chat or over the phone so you don't feel like you're alone on an island.
Review from Operations Dept
We all genuinely care about our work and working as a team.
Review from Finance Dept
Knowledge sharing on our team is top game. Best bar none. Training is wonderful as well. I feel like am always engaged. Good job team!
Review from Engineering Dept
Very fun and friendly group. Really make an emphasis on collaborating and helping out.
Review from Finance Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
communication, attention to detail, feel like im going over the same thing a million times with other teams they dont retain what needs to be done
Review from Operations Dept
need more than 300 characters
Review from Marketing Dept
as stated with the leadership team, hold people accountable. stop trying to be people's friend's. a business needs to get things done and you can do that without all the fluff. my coworker's team has come to me with the same frustrations, but everyone tiptoe's around them
I think my team could use some better communication strategies, everyone has a tendency to be off in their own world.
Review from Engineering Dept
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Everyone is happy to help and do their job right
Review from Finance Dept
I have not met a person at this company that is condescending, mean, or difficult to get along with in all my time here
Review from Engineering Dept
It's completely inclusive. From the highest level to the low man on the totem pole everyone speaks to you with the same level of respect.
Review from Operations Dept
We care about each other's well being and there a sense of urgency when we help each other.
Review from Finance Dept
All the great brands we represent and monthly meetings to make us aware of what's going on not just in our department, but outside our department as well.
Review from Finance Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
I believe an org rehaul would help to align goals and run a more effective business.
need more than 300 characters
Review from Marketing Dept
The attitudes of people who feel entitled or who don't want to be part of a company that loves change.
Review from Operations Dept
What did you like most about the interview process?
I got to meet many of the team members.
Review from Sales Dept
The amount of attention given to see if someone is a culture fit.
Review from HR Dept
I was made to feel like I was needed and could grow with the company.
It's very thorough but that's not for everybody.
Review from HR Dept
It's considerate. It may take longer than others but it's important that it's the right fit.

What makes you most happy at work?
Getting things done at my own pace.
Review from Finance Dept
Working with people I like and working with technologies that keep my skills up to date and our problems manageable.
Review from Engineering Dept
The collaborate, adult, team mentality that surrounds me daily.
Review from Operations Dept
Even though we are so busy in Accounting, our managers help us take time for ourselves so there is some balance.
Review from Finance Dept
Working from home, the work I do (curating and reviewing art options).
Review from Sales Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
In the past two years, we've lost many perks that were once competitive. Annual RSUs, commuter benefits, free Friday lunches. Why were these not translated into WFH benefits like office equipment stipends, monthly Door Dash gift cards, etc.
I was promised a temp to permanent hire position and I worked as a temp for a full year before I was added on as permanent even though there was a huge need for my position. Temp workers are expected to do the exact same job as the full time employees in my department for less pay, no pto.
Review from Operations Dept
No clear goals or strategy from leadership.
Review from Marketing Dept
Nothing is going wrong necessarily. Now that we are part of Graham and no longer a public-facing company, it makes it a less exciting dynamic, and the future of where Leaf is headed is still unclear.
Review from Finance Dept
more competent people who want to push the business forward rather than always looking to the past because the future scares them.we have to move on&get over the pandemic because things will never return to what they were beforehand. can't blame covid for things going wrong when they were broken b4
