Seeking new role in publishing: opinions from other media mamas?

Hi all: I'm ready to move on from my current role as a marketing strategist at a global media company. I'd like to stay with a publisher, rather than going to an agency or flipping over to the client side. I'm flexible on large vs. small, scrappy and entrepreneurial vs. longstanding titans, "fun" brand (like Well + Good, Refinery29, Buzzfeed) vs. more cerebral (Vox, The Atlantic). What I'm most focused on is a place that will respect me as an individual who is balancing a family, and also, offers solid maternity benefits (since we'll eventually try for #2). Mamas who are at other publishers and/or are in media: would you recommend your employer, based on how it stacks up against other media companies, how they treat their female/working mom employees, and the benefits that they offer? Thoughts welcome and appreciated!

I have heard that R29 has a pretty good sensitivity about parental leave (and a new policy) as well as some women in leadership. Good luck with your job search.

It sounds like balancing a family and working a #2 (how exciting!) is priority for you! So from someone who has been in media for 8+ years, how they treat/respect you as a working mom + good benefits is high priority for me. I’d add work-flex time being important as well, especially if your kids are sick or if you need to work remotely. It depends on what is more important for you though!
