Pros

Unlimited holiday Some variable amount of bonus at Christmas (£1-2.5k)

Cons

Little progression Too heavy upper management No training for creatives only writers No clarity on pay or salary progression A management that blames long time staff for never offering to take a salary reduction despite themselves being on exorbitant amounts. Very underhanded when it comes to lay offs especially for the American side of the company. Constantly firing people on higher pay bands whilst bringing in new staff on base pay.

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"
