Local Corporation Employee Reviews for Content Manager

"A great place to work with great people, but the quarterly layoffs spare no-one."

What do you like about working at Local Corporation?

"- Friendly, supportive management- Ability to work cross-departmentally- Perks including break room with games tables, 25c snacks machines, $8 car washes, free bagels on Fridays"

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"- Dress to impress! This company has a relaxed dress code but programmers, please don't show up in flip-flops"

What don't you like about working at Local Corporation?

"- Quarterly lay-offs- Departments are physically moved around building constantly, disrupting workflow and separating co-workers- Products are launched before development is finished- Contractors (even long-term hires) are denied all company perks, such a holiday parties and lunches out. This creates a class separation and workplace tension."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"- Fully develop products before launch- Your people are your greatest assets. Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater and lay off entire teams just because a product isn't an immediate success.- Contractors are as much the lifeblood of Local as regular employees are. Denying them the right to attend company events (many of which are cost-free) makes them feel like they don't belong to the very company they are working for."
