Pros

- Unlimited holiday, and generally have good benefits - Opportunity to work across a number of digital publications and often with impressive colleagues - My personal work/life balance is good. but this definitely isn't the case for many of my colleagues

Cons

- Salary is quite low, and there have been a lot of redundancies made - A lot of changes in a short amount of time. This can be both a good and a bad thing - Lack of company culture
