Pros

Great place with lots of room to grow and move up in your career. People there tend to be extremely nice and friendly.

Cons

Can be stressful at times, but that's the nature of the beast. Definitely not unique to Demand Media. All an all great place to be

Had the innovation going, but got a bit too careful

Director

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Striving for more traffic was always at the core of the ethos. Growth and innovation were very important, but the growth slowed and ideas seemed to slow at the same rate. Careful is fine, but won't bring break-out growth.

Cons

Lots of good, very smart people have moved on to more exciting companies interested in growing to allow them to continue to learn and innovate.

Nice Company to Work for

Business Outlook

Pros

This company is very considerate of its freelancers, provides as much work as you can handle in certain categories, and pays promptly twice a week.

Cons

Sometimes things slow down and there's little or nothing to do. However, it usually picks up again. There's ample notice before this happens though. Once you're aware, you can look for something else to do. It's advisable to not rely on one source of income as a freelancer anyway.
