Pros

Continually being challenged, new problems to solve every month, lots of freedom to engineer solutions to those problems without micro-management or oppressive oversight.

Cons

Dragged backwards by legacy infrastructure / process, constant effort by Engineering team to tread water in terms of system upgrades and consolidation. Roughly 18 months and one complete restructure into a process of streamlining, and still quite a way off completion. Morale outside the technology department not great due to round after round of redundancies.

Pros

- Everyone is super engaged with their work - Teams meet and share their progress regularly - Remote work that respects your timezone

Cons

- Unbearable amounts of micromanagement - Questionable journalistic ethics, e.g. "reviewing" products that have merely been unboxed and photographed, as well as excessive AI authorship - Extremely misleading work expectations — was told in interviews that I would be working on one story per day, resigned when I was expected to handle more than 15 in a week - Very reluctant to grant PTO or sick days — work "missed" while off is expected to be made up for twofold, and I was told at one point while sick with the stomach flu to "get over it" and "just work on 'easy' stuff today"
