Pros

Bagels on Fridays. Ample parking. Nice views of the Bay. Relaxed atmosphere. Close to the 101 freeway. Food trucks near by.

Cons

Parent company in the UK which made communication less than optimal along with cultural differences. Both UK and US businesses contracted heavily, shutting down publications, laying off scores of people. The US had been operating without any real vision of its own and lacked courage or the ability to move its products forward. It may be different now.

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"
