Pros

- Remote-friendly structure allows some flexibility depending on the team. - Good place to understand fast-paced media operations, trending content, and audience-driven publishing.

Cons

- Communication style is often brusque or blunt, which affects team morale. - Resistance to improving internal processes, even when changes would clearly save time, reduce errors and improve team structures. - A strong focus on results, yet a lack of focus over people, which can make you feel overlooked as an individual. - Wellbeing and work-life balance receive little attention, with results prioritised above everything else. - Occasional decisions that prioritise short-term output, such as the use of external options in ways that could create larger problems later, rather than addressing underlying system limitations.

Pros

The people are mostly young, friendly and whilst there are deadlines, they do seem to empathise with the work to rest ratio.

Cons

There was a lot of experimentation with my department, which was also a pro, as it was quite relaxed, but as a con, it meant the results were just as experimental and so less successful than they perhaps could have been. The pay is also very low for the expertise they expect. You also only get 20 days holiday as a full-time employee and that has to include any public holidays for your country and any sick days.

Right place to grow professionally

Pros

It's a good place to start a career as a junior specialist, but grow up with a company as it grows very quickly. So, lots of opportunities to try yourself in different roles or different responsibilities. As well very good creative vibe in the office. A lot of nice, talented people, who are always willing to help you :)

Cons

Sometimes internal information goes in circles :)but it's because many creative people are working.
