Pros

- Some real talented colleagues who you can learn from (but can't deliver their best work due to the environment)

Cons

- CEO incapable of running the company. Imposes his own opinions on everything - Financial mistakes at top level led to a third of the company being made redundant overnight. - Toxic work culture - Employees made to feel their ideas are useless Edit: In reply to ProWritingAid's response to this post, whilst the industry is changing, the cause of layoffs was communicated to the team and it was not a strategic play. The response is another sign of management's inability to be honest and accept responsibility for their mistakes.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely regret that your experience was less than satisfactory, and we value the honesty in your perspective. We want to provide some context regarding the changes you've observed. Our industry is undergoing a significant transformation, heavily influenced by the advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs). These changes have compelled us to strategically refocus our efforts to stay competitive. It’s a tough reality, but these industry-wide shifts have led many companies, including ours, to make difficult decisions. For example, a similar company recently had to reduce its workforce by over 200 employees. We understand that the full scope of these strategic decisions might not be clear to every team member, and we are committed to improving communication and transparency moving forward.

Pros

ProWritingAid is a fully remote company, which gives you the freedom to work from wherever you are in the world. This also means I work with people in over 10 countries! Right from the off, I felt trusted to get my work done and to do it well. This means that you can build your hours around your life and work flexibly. Lifting each other and sharing ideas is engrained in the company culture. This is my first job after university, and I've always felt encouraged to share my ideas and get involved. Everyone at ProWritingAid is committed to creating a happy working environment where you get to do what you love. I've had the opportunity to write articles, host webinars, learn new skills and get involved on big projects. I feel challenged every day, and I also have fun every day which is the perfect balance.

Cons

The only con is not being able to meet up with the team in person due to the pandemic, but this is situational. I still feel really connected to the people I work with, and that is testament to the brilliant working environment the company has cultivated.
