Pros

Unlimited time off (If you've cleared the deck to use it) Well known brands (PC Gamer, TechRadar, etc) Talented and motivated people You can work on subjects that you care about

Cons

You'll be woefully underpaid for what you do Ever changing work loads (goalposts constantly moved) Emphasis on clicks and rankings over quality of content Using time off is a rarity due to heavy work loads Few chances (if any) to move up the ladder The work can be very repetitive You won't be very well valued or listened to Pay rises are uncommon and very minor Every decision comes down from the CEO It's always quantity over quality

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"
