Supportive team, fully remote workplace - Anonymous employee Autism Parenting Magazine Employee Review

I thought I'd take the time to write this review because working for Autism Parenting Magazine (APM) feels genuinely meaningful. It isn’t just a job, it’s the work that matters and knowing that the content we create helps parents and caregivers feel supported, informed, and less alone is a positive benefit of being part of the organisation. This is also true for the team with which I work. They’re thoughtful, respectful, and easy to work with (including the CEO), and there’s a strong sense of empathy woven into the culture. I appreciate how open and collaborative the working environment is. Ideas are welcomed, communication between departments and the community we serve is clear, and there’s an understanding of the importance of work-life balance and flexibility. APM has been going since 2012 and there are a number of colleagues who have been at APM for several years, so they must be getting something right. Furthermore, I feel trusted to do my work well and am proud to contribute to an organisation that aligns its values so closely with its mission. Thus far, it’s been a positive and fulfilling experience, and I’m happy to be able to share my expertise to help take the organisation forward, so that it's able to help even more people that have autism as part of their world.

None that I can think of.

Strong company values and a positive, supportive culture. APM genuinely values work-life balance, full-time employees are expected to work a standard 8-hour day. There are good training opportunities and room for professional growth. It’s a fast-paced environment where you learn a lot and gain exposure to different areas of the business. Supportive leadership and a collaborative team atmosphere Work expectations are clearly defined from the start, including the use of Hubstaff for time and activity tracking, which is outlined in both the job description and employment contract. This transparency helps set clear boundaries and promotes accountability and fairness across the team.

It’s a fast-paced environment, and during busy periods or launches the work can feel quite intense.
