Vox Media

New York, NY · founded 2011

Vox Media is a New York digital-media company that, after a major 2026 split, kept the Vox website, the New York Magazine family (The Cut, Vulture, Intelligencer, Grub Street, The Strategist, Curbed) and its podcast network, while Penske Media absorbed The Verge, SB Nation and Eater. Its editorial staff are heavily unionized — the Vox Media Union (Writers Guild of America, East) ratified a new three-year contract in June 2025 that kept unlimited PTO, raised the encouraged time-off floor, added generative-AI protections, and set a 12-week severance minimum. On review sites employees praise the work-life balance and talented colleagues but consistently flag below-tech pay and thin advancement after successive rounds of restructuring and layoffs. Treat culture signals as faint: the public review sample is small.
