Pros

- The expertise within the team is unrivalled. Genuinely, nobody does what SR do as well as SR do it. - SR works incredibly hard to keep ahead of the curve, impressively navigating change despite its size - The more recent embrace of more personal content (within reason, of course), is a great move - High-achievers rise to the top - Good bonusing initiatives

Cons

- The pressure and pace is not for everyone. Rewards are there for those who commit, and there is often a danger of sacrificing work/life balance. - The technology of the platform doesn't always keep pace with the users, and improvements don't center the actual content creators enough. - Lower pay is a pragmatic reality of the industry, but ensuring valuable members at all levels feel well compensated for the work they do could be worked on more.

Pros

Genuinely some of the smartest content people I've ever worked with. Super dedicated editors who make you want to do a better job because they care so much. Robust training and feedback system. Fun content.

Cons

Not necessarily a bad thing but some editors gave TOO much feedback. A bit more flexibility to use our best judgment for formatting/amount of links/images used would have been good.

Pros

Perhaps the only thing worthwhile about this site is the everyday writers who show up to publish content. Their passion is infectious, and their pitches are often excellent if only leadership was willing to listen.

Cons

The only advice I can give to anyone looking to work here is to run. SR is not only inhumane at the most unforgivable level to its workers, but it is comically inept. Leadership doesn't know what to do other than cannibalize itself, and directions are somehow both entirely obscured while being mandated. Truly, there are few newsrooms more dysfunctional than SR or any operated by its parent company. Avoid this publishing purgatory at all costs unless you are getting paid good money.
