Pros

- Some of the best, most committed employees I've ever worked with - One of very few companies in the video games/pop culture sector for writers

Cons

- Massive recent layoffs at the company, with seemingly more planned - Upper management seem largely unconcerned and remorseless about job losses - Poor support from many department heads in general - Low starting salaries and small incremental pay rises - General feeling of unease running through the company right now

Skewed priorities and terrible pay.

Pros

Good flexibility in working hours.

Cons

Clearly the company does not care about editorial. If you are considering a position in this area then understand that this company mostly focuses on events and will operate on an almost cutthroat mentality with regards to other areas. Poor pay, poor communication and the tendancy to gaslight employees into sticking around until they are no longer necessary make this place an extremely difficult place to work.

Pros

Amazing coworkers Passion projects Skills gained from working with people in the field are extremely valuable.

Cons

Horrendous pay, particularly when based in one of the most expensive cities in the country. No career progression prospects at all - extremely talented writers aren't compensated well enough for the work and passion they put in, and are continuously discontented with the lack of ability to actually action change in their websites and within the company. A history of people leaving the company because of their absolute refusal to make any concessions with salary. Specific cases of same job title but different wage are everywhere, because it's relied upon that you won't talk salary with coworkers. The company talks big on keeping a good work life balance, but you're often expected, both implicitly and explicitly, to continue increasing output without increased time or compensation for it.
