Pros

Good colleagues and Good Perks. Work hours vary a lot, some weeks it can be 50 hours some weeks it can be 35 hours.

Cons

No clear company goal. They are trying to be everywhere in the content business. The senior management is disconnected from the employees. The office managers are only focussed on saving their jobs. Resulting in frequent exodus of good employees

Pros

Could write on whatever topic you chose. Very easy work. Perfect for someone still in school, because you can make it mold your schedule - even the weird hours. The articles were then edited by someone else, who would then approve it or send it back for modification. This was good in maintaining a more consistent quality

Cons

Inconsistent income. Some of the topics were very obscure so there were times I wouldn't be able to write any articles

Pros

Very lax atmosphere. Incredibly flexible hours. Free snacks and drinks. Free catered lunches on Fridays.

Cons

An inordinate amount of politics to navigate. Every department treats itself like a fiefdom that must be appeased before anything can get done. Requests for normal information or equipment can take months (or longer) to be responded to, even if it is mission critical. Many departments and staff have a "lob it over the wall " mentality where their goal is just to pass off a problem so they don't have to deal with it with little care about whether it is resolved or not. A huge amount of turnover in some departments (over 50%) in a short period of time.
