Pros

Free snacks, fun people, an occasional party

Cons

The majority of the employees are young people (below 30) which makes the abundant issues at the company look predatory. For a company that rivals social media giants, the pay in this company is laughable. If you're going to try and negotiate for your salary, prepare to be emotionally manipulated by an overworked staffer since the company doesn't really have an HR department with proper training in the field. The majority of editorial team is overworked, stressed to extreme levels, all while receiving the lowest pay in the company. They make you sign various NDAs to try and prevent people talking about their salaries and keep their employees oblivious to the fact that the salaries aren't based on their work or experience, as people who work a couple of hours a day earn 2-3 times more than those who work during their lunch breaks and after hours. The company also uses scare tactics to prevent people from speaking out by firing those who offer constructive criticism. And let's not forget the sexist undertones. All in all, there is a plethora of issues hiding behind a carefully created facade of an "inclusive" successful company whose owner boasts about millions that he doesn't know where to spend, meanwhile his employees are being crippled by a stressful work environment all while earning pathetic wages.
