Pros

- Big brands with impressive opportunities and traffic potential - Some great managers who really care about the work and their teams - Good holiday

Cons

- Higher management of magazines are given impossible goals to reach and pass this down to team - Strongly pushed to focus on clickbait or churning out content. While good journalism gets rewarded, it is one good article to 10 copy and pastes. - Brands with US and UK teams clash with no clear leadership in place, Expect to work weird hours to appease editors on different time zones - Salaries are dismal for the huge amount of work expected - High burnout of staff

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"
