Pros

They were happy to pay out bonus and always seemed to be monetary benefits

Cons

Upper management didn’t seem to have a grasp on any contacts within agencies and never listened to people that did. It was such a corporate company, there was no room for fun and expenses were basically taken away.

No room for fun is really not fun at all and certainly not something we're happy about. You spend so much of your life at work, you have to feel like there's enjoyment to be had right? Being in lockdown really got in the way of this and while we did loads of stuff online, it doesn't really come close to a bake sale or a quiz night in the local bar or kicking a ball around as part of the office football team of an evening. That's why this year, we've focussed down on getting our office and interest communities back up and running. We think it'll really help people feel a part of something more than the job. We know that feeling like your opinion and expertise is listened to is important as well, that's why we're doing our first ever engagement survey and making sure off the back of it that managers really understand the benefits of listening to their people.

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"
