Pros

The great thing GOOD has going for it is that they have a lot of amazing, talented people working for them. From writers, designers, partnership managers, and producers, they have dedicated hard working employees that are trying to make a difference in the world.

Cons

The problem with GOOD is that the management has NO value for their talent. They treat people like disposable commodities, and fire people under the veil of 'oh, we're restructuring', all the time. Just this year they have gone through 3 restructures of the company - letting go talent left and right. Due to the constant cycling through of talent - projects often fall behind, they hire unqualified 'friends', and expect the few talented people they do keep on to do the work of everyone they let go. Additionally, the management sell out all the time - relying on the sponsored content model to create revenue, instead of traditional ad sales. This means they are creating content that is paid for by big corporations and presented as 'journalism'. In my opinion, that walks a very fine ethical line.

Pros

People are nice and you'll work on projects that are making a difference in the world.

Cons

Terrible management, lack of focus or vision. Not able to stick to one direction for more than a month. Crazy turnover. Megalomania.

Pros

Fun, young, creative staff, and you feel as if you could actually make a difference

Cons

In titling yourself “GOOD” you have set yourself up for failure if you continue to lay off and fire people at will. If you can't create a "good"/safe/nontoxic environment for you staff you are kinda part of the problem, not the solution, right? It really is too bad the company management gets in its own way.
