Pros

Great pay and benefits such as lots of PTO, 6 months parental leave, pension contributions

Cons

Hostile and incompetent C-suite. Management will focus like the Eye of Sauron on one site in teh network at a time and either gut it to save money or force an increase in output to try and increase profits. Management will set goals and targets with little to no warning or respect for plans already put in place by editors. It's their way or the highway. Your ideas mean nothing if they aren't free to impliment and instantly draw in more traffic. Forget any notion of long-term planning. Strategy team members were turned into writers in an attempt to boost output - management is purely reactive and has no plan for the future beyond chasing whatever trend is pulling traffic at that moment in time. Everyone who works here is nothing more than a number to management, and people are judged solely on how much they write, edit, and how much traffic they pull in. When the AI job blew up in their faces, they simply outsourced cheap Serbian labour to write all the database articles they wanted.

Pros

The work was great and my team was amazing. The pay and benefits were also great. Working my way up to Managing Editor from Freelance Writer was amazing.

Cons

The direction from management on how to improve was poor. Mass layoffs over email with no warning and no way to discuss further options sucked.
