Pros

Mumsnet has a fantastic culture, clear vision and strong purpose. It's a relatively small business by media standards, but punches above it's weight in lots of respects. Work is varied and interesting, and you get the chance to be involved in lots of different projects. Teams across the business work well together and there are no silos. Everyone feels like they have a say and can put ideas forward to senior management. Good benefits overall and lots of flexibility. Mumsnet, as you might imagine, is a great place for parents to work, as they fully understand the realities of balancing work and family life!

Cons

Due to it's size, Mumsnet doesn't have set salary bands or standard linear career paths. This means it might not be the place to work for those who expect this. However lots of people thrive at Mumsnet, and there are plenty of examples of people being promoted quickly and frequently, moving across different teams and areas of the business.

Pros

The owner loves to boast that parents will “never miss a sports day”

Cons

In reality the company is filled with miserable employees (mostly women) who are burdened with the golden handcuffs of having the flexibility of working around childcare but hating your job.
