Pros

The people are nice. Benefits are good, or were when I left in 2013. You don't have to work very hard, but then again neither do your coworkers...and sometimes that means you're the only one on your staff who's really trying.

Cons

It's so depressing. They keep changing their minds as to the company's goals, focus, and strategy. Leaders don't lead. Good people will leave a team and just not be replaced, or replaced with reassigned people from elsewhere in the company who aren't interested in doing much but showing up, watching TV, and collecting a paycheck. I left before entire departments were eliminated and their jobs taken over by the home office in England. I hear it's gotten worse since then.

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"
