Howcast: A Look Inside Entrepreneurship - Anonymous employee Howcast Media Employee Review

The people there are intelligent and creative and are all working hard to achieve something exceptional. Great team vibes and an encouraging culture

None. I was an unpaid intern so I cannot speak on compensation

-bagels on monday; talented film producers -Alex (COO) is great (but no longer there as of July 2013)

-Only emphasis is on churning out content. It is obvious the producers are overwhelmed (and extremely underpaid) with the quotas each month -Most videos don't get very many views, site doesn't get that many page views, and publishers that Howcast is on also don't generate many views. -No career growth; the job listing was extremely different than the responsibilities I actually had. It was demeaning. -Talked to some people who have been there for over 2 years and not once had they been given a bonus or raise. They did get a job promotion title, but that's meaningless at a company with such few people. -Most projects don't materialize, and it's always blamed on budget. it's also clear from early on that projects will be abandoned but no one is comfortable saying anything -For such a small company, it's amazing how little transparency there is.
