      Not worth the time or effort

      Pros

      You get to write about games. The people you work with are pretty nice.

      Cons

      The pay is horrible and you're expected to churn out article after article to make anything close to a decent paycheck. However, the editorial team works against you on this by rejecting any remotely interesting ideas you have, and scheduling articles you write about new games far past out when those games will be relevant. TheGamer doesn't claim to be a primary source of income, but even then, the incredibly low payment for a 1000 word article where you're also expected to make all the images and put in all the links is very hard to swallow.

      Great team and culture, but base article rates could be improved

      Pros

      TheGamer is a great place for newcomers to start in the industry as they don't expect a portfolio of work to apply, you just submit a written sample and resume. I started as a List Writer and progressed up through several promotions to editor, so I also like that they promote from within. They've been super flexible with working patterns, which makes juggling personal life with work life a lot easier. The team has been super friendly, and I've learned a lot from others, especially in areas that I wasn't familiar with. It's great to be able to speak with staff in other departments to learn from them and continue to hone my own skills. I especially like the culture of TheGamer. There's definitely a sense of "team spirit", and I love to see the team writing about things they are passionate about and tackling important issues.

      Cons

      Base article rates for Freelancers are not the best within the industry (though also not the worst). There are bonus schemes, but I feel improved base rates per article would go a long way to making writers happier and attracting new talent.

      Pros

      Great team of funny, supportive, talented and hardworking individuals. Our writers and editors do an amazing job, and the pay is fine.

      Cons

      Freelancers also do a fabulous job but the rates aren’t great. It would be better if they could get the recognition they deserved.
