Pros
There was a decent supply of free snacks. The physical workspace is nice. Some health insurance was covered.
Cons
The most obvious problem was the workload, which included lots of late nights and some weekend work. Staff members had to write and edit so quickly that the website published stories before catching factual mistakes and typos. I received close to zero training, but was criticized on a daily basis by management. Even with a track record of successful work, I and my colleagues were not trusted to make decisions. Employees who tried to raise these concerns with management and were ignored or yelled at. Same issue when staff members raised concerns about equal pay. Not surprisingly, turnover was high. Another problem was that there was no clear boundary between the publishing and editorial sides of the organization.
