Pros
Used to be a cool place 5 years ago
Cons
Employees are required to use their personal computers for work. No other "tech" company does this. This is a media company that lives in the past. Benefits are awful, with a PTO policy that forces employees to use their personal days for most national holidays and has months of blackouts. No perks. European employees receive significantly lower compensation compared to their US counterparts. In particular, they are exploiting Ukrainians needing work right now. Some department managers exhibit unprofessional, hypocritical, and unethical behavior. Employees have been unexpectedly let go despite receiving positive performance reviews and feedback. No growth opportunities - the performance review system is useless. Unrealistic expectations set by leadership have resulted in excessive crunch time. Ian's family, due to their wealth and connections, has a significant influence on business decisions, attending meetings and offsite events, raising concerns about conflicts of interest. His family controls the C-suite and the board. Virtually entirely white-male.
