Pros

Everyone working at SmartBrief is so kind and supportive. The culture is great and they are not micro-managey, dramatic, or have unreasonable expectations. My time spent here was great and I enjoyed everyone that I ever worked with.

Cons

It was difficult to move laterally which was the reason why I eventually had to leave. There were also a lot of changes made with upper management and a lot of reorganizations within the company while I was there. This did not affect me directly but it was chaotic at times.

Pros

- Everyone is super engaged with their work - Teams meet and share their progress regularly - Remote work that respects your timezone

Cons

- Unbearable amounts of micromanagement - Questionable journalistic ethics, e.g. "reviewing" products that have merely been unboxed and photographed, as well as excessive AI authorship - Extremely misleading work expectations — was told in interviews that I would be working on one story per day, resigned when I was expected to handle more than 15 in a week - Very reluctant to grant PTO or sick days — work "missed" while off is expected to be made up for twofold, and I was told at one point while sick with the stomach flu to "get over it" and "just work on 'easy' stuff today"
