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"
