Pros

Fast-paced culture and top-rate technology, very high salaries. Remember, you're only here for the money and the resume boost.

Cons

Managers/editors/bosses lie to your face. HR is incompetent and afraid of angering upper management. Get everything in writing and consider recording meetings with your editors. You might need this later to get a settlement when things inevitably sour. Also, when you resign, someone from security walks you out the door within the hour - even people who have been with the company for decades. It's revolting.

Pros

Great Office, Free Snacks and plenty of social events

Cons

Be prepared for a heavily politicised culture — it's pervasive and affects day-to-day working life significantly. The organisation suffers from clear in-group favouritism at the leadership level, where certain groups are visibly preferred for opportunities, recognition, and advancement. This creates an uneven playing field and quietly damages morale for those outside those circles. Leadership collaboration leaves a lot to be desired. In four years, I didn't experience a single structured team-building or bonding initiative — a telling sign of how little investment goes into people and team cohesion. Perhaps most concerning is the approach to compliance. Raising legitimate concerns or challenging existing practices is met with significant resistance from senior stakeholders, rather than genuine engagement. A culture where pushback replaces accountability is one worth approaching with caution.
