Pros

Unlimited Annual Leave Flexible remote working policies

Cons

High pressure and high workload Under-resourced Bad pay Lacking opportunities for growth or pay increase Uninspiring office Not much valuing of work/life balance - working overtime and outside of usual hours is normal and expected in more senior roles Don't treat staff with basic kindness - No sense of valuing or respecting the individuals that keep the business going No sense of community within teams No work socials - maximum one a year at Christmas and this is budget and last minute Senior management salaries out of proportion to junior and mid-level staff members Too focused on acquisition and not investing in what it already has Too

Pros

- Everyone is super engaged with their work - Teams meet and share their progress regularly - Remote work that respects your timezone

Cons

- Unbearable amounts of micromanagement - Questionable journalistic ethics, e.g. "reviewing" products that have merely been unboxed and photographed, as well as excessive AI authorship - Extremely misleading work expectations — was told in interviews that I would be working on one story per day, resigned when I was expected to handle more than 15 in a week - Very reluctant to grant PTO or sick days — work "missed" while off is expected to be made up for twofold, and I was told at one point while sick with the stomach flu to "get over it" and "just work on 'easy' stuff today"
