Pros

Good colleagues in the editorial team - a talented team

Cons

Extremely stressful work environment, management pressurizes employees with deadline-driven, heavy workloads, horrible managers especially in the editorial team, no proper training or time given to writers to learn the sector, PIPs are shot within 2 months of new employee joining, egoistic managers and bosses who have been given power to fire employees without any explanation, stingy with their leave policy, unrealistic work expectations which involve working after office hours and even on Sundays, low salaries paid and no compensation/benefits for making employees work 75-80 hours in a week

Pros

I'm new to SWZD to comment of the company as of now. But yes people I have come across may it be the recruiting team or the operations who interviewed had a positive approach. The best part of SWZD is Work from any where policy.

Cons

As of now nothing specific to be mentioned.
