It's not a company, it's a social experiment
Pros
In the past, a bit of flexibility. This has now ended since in one of their monthly ego-stroking meetings a powerpoint slide announced that working times are 9-6, at the office, and any exception must be previously approved by "your line manager" (talk about being treated like a factory worker from the 19th Century).
Cons
If you like having your intelligence underestimated (or unseen at all), believe you deserve 2 years of entry-level salary as if you were an unskilled call centre operator "because you're helping out a startup" (although they keep buying unnecessary stuff and hiring for more and more complex organogram positions, as if they already were IBM or Google, with money they're unable to generate with their business model and client portfolio), and find motivation in being managed by insecure control-freaks who are afraid of posting an Instagram picture before creating a workstream spreadsheet for its approval, this is the place for you. But it's an especially ideal company if you enjoy dystopic society sci-fi: you will constantly be asking yourself if this is really happening, and will start looking for the hidden cameras, convinced it's actually a scientific/social experiment to see how people react in bizarre, extreme situations. Although the "benefit" highlight in their own job postings reads "you'll be given the opportunity to work as a human, alongside other humans" (!!), the best definition of work there is "You will try to convince youtubers to give us a percentage of their revenue for no reason whatsoever", as the product is inexistent and any attempt at "adding value" comes in the form of a solution that has proven to fail with other YouTube Networks, or to have been invented already (aka: Facebook Messenger), making it very frustrating to the tech team, on top of all the unnecessary flow-clogging bureaucracy (again: spreadsheets with instructions on how to fill out spreadsheets and insecurity about changing or challenging anything; plastered, slow pace). This company is so desperate that they took in one of the worst and most openly disliked youtubers ever as one of their main clients, even after he was banned from his previous network for increasingly tasteless and more offensive content. Hiring and promotions (when existent at all) seem to happen for the weirdest reasons other than merit, skills, previous experience or leadership capacity. Another "con": High turnover: 9 employees quit in 10 months, half of them choosing unemployment. Only waste your time if you're a deluded overaged career Pollyanna who believes the misinformed, long-outdated tale that this YouTube Network (or any, for the matter) is the future of online content, and that you are offering your clients "a vibrant international community of creators" (reality: all of them are dissatisfied and desperate to leave but are locked in by wittily crafted contracts). Zero chances of being promoted or having a career.
