Pros

The Ziff Davis team is inclusive and collaborative, with a good culture of folks. Accommodates nearly fully remote with main offices in NY & Austin. Good opportunity for career growth and learning skills, but promotions take a while. Work/life balance is great as well.

Cons

ZD is structured as an M&A (mergers and acquisitions) org., so there are regular wide layoffs with not much explanation other than "restructuring"

Pros

Coworkers are great, flexible time off and remote work is nice

Cons

Expect a constant fear of being laid off and don’t event think you’ll get a merit increase, bonus, or any sort of recognition for hard work and high performance. C-Suites only vision for the future seems to be when to schedule layoffs throughout the year and then receive hefty yearly raises and bonuses for themselves.
