Pros
Decent pay at joining (but that's where the generosity ends) Office space is nice if you're into aesthetics over actual work culture
Cons
Silent Layoffs in Progress: The company has mastered the art of cutting costs without making headlines. Strict HR policies are designed to push employees out without officially firing them. Non-Existent Career Growth: If you're in India, forget about climbing the ladder. All decision-making power is hoarded by the US and UK offices. The highest position you'll see in India is a manager pretending to be a leader. Leadership Exodus: Top managers leave faster than new employees can learn their names. Every few months there's a re-org because the company itself doesn't know what it wants to be. Not a Tech Company, Just a Digital Magazine: The company sells itself as a tech-driven media company, but 90% of the work is about appeasing magazine editors and posting updates in Slack groups. Time Over Talent: The biggest metric for success here is clocking in your hours. It doesn't matter how productive you are — what matters is that you sit at your desk long enough to be seen.
