I didn't take the reviews seriously before joining and I regret it - Anonymous employee Newsweek Employee Review

Before Newsweek, I thought all newsrooms were the same. They are filled with people who were disorganised, aggressive and disgruntled. Newsweek is something else. You can expect people to call in sick often because they're so stressed they can't face the day, or they actually are sick from being overloaded. You can expect meetings where journalists need to be told they need to speak to people for articles, not just rip stuff off the internet. You can expect to work late hours but not because of anything breaking. Instead, it will be because people are disorganised, haven't answered you until it's too late and then expect you to stay to make up for that. Believe me, all your complaints about traditional newsrooms will feel quaint should you take whatever job is on offer.
