Internet Brands reviews

-No one is passionate about what they're doing -Extremely lacking in company culture, no values whatsoever, no guiding principle, nothing. This place is plainer than vanilla ice cream -Boring, and you'll probably be working in a boring industry -Extremely crowded I left after 3 months because I was so bored. Think about this critically. Internet Brands is NOT a tech company. They might market themselves as that (like wearing casual clothes) in order to attract talent, but it's a conglomerate of companies. They're essentially a private equity firm owned by another private equity firm (I'll admit, being owned by KKR means it's good - FOR THE INVESTORS, not you). The sole purpose of this company is to acquire other companies within their 4 main industries and strengthen their verticals. They're going to find whatever company is willing to sell, find it's inefficiencies, and then gut it and make it more profitable. They're trying to increase their profit margin by any means, and that's why the benefits and pay are lacking. To put it into perspective, they're the biggest fish in the smallest pond. Look at the industries they're in and the types of companies they acquire. They're so niche, that the play is to acquire as many niche markets so that they eventually own most of the market. If you're looking for a job, okay, then do it. If you're looking to grow and challenge yourself, and make the most of your time working, then there are way better opportunities out there.

Oh where do I begin. For starters, they issued a statement during Covid-19 that there's no work week. Meaning you need to work around the clock, including weekends and vacations. They kept pushing for people to return to office as cases were increasing. When I asked about professional development, they told me to look for free classes. When I asked if there's funds available, they said yes but it's PREFERRED that we go to free sources first. Meaning you ain't getting it. When I asked about what I needed to do to get promoted, I got the runaround for 3 years. I kept working harder, longer hours, and had no life outside of work. I did everything they asked and more. Still, I was considered an underperformer. They want more with less money. I never got a penny for any projects I worked out. I had to learn new skills to get the job done, which is their MO. Get employees so fed up that they teach themselves and save them a pretty penny.
