Pros

Some free games Stock Options Great coworkers Snacks Arcade Machines Opportunities for fun events

Cons

Political Senior Management. Content ideas often gate-kept unless coming from management directly. Male-dominated management on the creative side, with little to no female representation leading to a tense environment. Pay is far below industry standard for the amount of output, necessary experience, and hours worked. You will work weekends and with tight deadlines. Very little incentive for proper compensation or recognition. Content is becoming stagnant and dictated by algorithms that are two years behind. Hesitant to innovate on new strategies or foresight in conjunction with other known platforms. Leadership often seems to contradict each other on strategy, leading to frustration in the office. Slow to promote. Toxic fandom and outside perspective.

Pros

- Great content team - Name recognition grants access opportunities - A handful of supportive veterans who can still get things done

Cons

- New VP is behind the times and a bully to any staff that rank below him, especially women. - Management's first instinct to cut costs is always lay-offs, while investing in projects and acquisitions that only further strain workload - It's always "do more with less," not "what changes would actually allow more productivity?" - Morale is so low many long term staff openly talk about job hunting and two key people have left since new VP's appointment (and are yet to be replaced) - No clear plan for dealing with falling traffic or issues faced due to AI - Technical innovation focused anywhere but editorial
