Pros

there are no pros to working here, the company is dead

Cons

spoiled rich kid uses family money to make a successful news company that he's ultimately embarrassed of, destroys it by purchasing vanity projects that lose money at a staggering rate and hiring Buzzfeed rejects because he thinks it's still 2008.

Poor leadership and questionable ethics

Anonymous employee

Pros

There’s no office so work is remote. They also allow cameras off during meetings.

Cons

The work environment is toxic due to poor communication and a lack of accountability from management. Instructions are often contradictory, and when things go wrong, leadership shifts blame rather than taking responsibility. There’s a “mean girl” dynamic among some managers that fosters exclusion rather than collaboration, and concerns about discrimination are often dismissed or ignored. Editorially, the company relies heavily on content pulled from TikTok creators, often in ways that feel exploitative and ethically questionable.

Pros

You work remotely- there is no office to trick you into hybrid

Cons

Toxic work culture, leaders are bullies and do not properly communicate or manager their teams. Empty promises and overworked. Articles can feel exploitative and predatory. They are building a freelancer army.
