Pros
- Friendly, motivated and hard-working people - Fast-growing - Pay is alright, depending on department (try to negotiate for stock options if you can) - Work in some departments ain't bad (branded content is solid, editorial can be fulfilling depending on the management, originals is solid, art team though is run like a dictatorship, and definitely not the benevolent kind - stay the hell away from there) - Office is decent (though a bit cramped) and in a great part of town
Cons
- Poor, inexperienced middle and senior management - Very rigid, vertical organization - Long hours bolstered by artificial deadlines and unrealistic goals - Low-quality editorial work that favors quantity over quality and low journalistic integrity - Low morale: Burnout is a very, very real problem - Limited opportunities for career growth - Non-existent HR
