Pros

- Incredible perks - Incredible community - Incredible salary - Healthy work culture

Cons

- Company just laid off 500 people - Writing & Editing discipline lacks organization, leadership, and direction (although everyone is lovely, highly skilled at their craft, and well-intentioned) - High-level employees are heavily encouraged to become managers because it is the only opportunity for career advancement, not because they're suited for it/passionate about it
