BuzzFeed

New York, NY

BuzzFeed is a digital media company founded in 2006, initially for viral content but expanding into investigative journalism, winning a Pulitzer Prize in 2021. A significant caveat: the company shut down BuzzFeed News in April 2023, laying off approximately 180 employees—major restructuring for journalism-focused staff. Culture is known for flexible, async work and friendly collaboration, though compensation consistently trails peers. The company refocused on entertainment and AI under new ownership (Byron Allen) as of May 2026.
