Pay was competitive for the industry

constant reorganization, poisonous management, senior leadership focused on congratulating themselves and providing reactive solutions vs looking critically at their management approach and how they could improve the working environment, tools, and processes needed for teams to deliver for clients.

Pros

There were no pros that I know of.

Cons

The company would set the maximum hours allowed on a specific publication project, and that cap was always insufficient, so the freelancer would be expected to work for free, despite scope creep. Also, timelines were unreasonably short. Poor communication with management meant things took longer than they should have. I left after one project.
