A social network with little socialization. - Avis employé Employé (anonyme) Buzznet

Cool employees and some great side benefits like free tickets to Coachella and other music shows. The work/life balance is one of the best of my career - sure there are pushes when there are major feature releases, but overall the pace is very reasonable.

The founders' word is final, whether or not it agrees with reality. Ideas only get implemented if a founder can claim it as his own. There tends to be a "me too" feel to all the feature being requested, as if we're trying to catch up with the latest hot site of the month. The company is trying to straddle the very different worlds of music and Hollywood celebrities and still come off as a coherent product, probably because of competing ideas of what the company should be about at the C-level.

Buzznet has really nice offices in Hollywood with excellent views of Hollywood. They have decent benefits and sometimes provide snacks in the office. They provide employees with nice computers and Blackberrys.

Senior management does not communicate with the rest of the staff and changes direction incredibly often. The CEO rarely comes into the office and does not speak to most employees. The board rules this company and there are constant "firedrill" scenarios whenever one of the board members expresses displeasure about anything. The founders and CEO appear to loathe one another and often give staff conflicting direction when they do decide to communicate.
