Pros

- Ever Changing (Fast Growth) - Focus on Employee Cohesion - Energetic Culture - Strong Work/Life Balance - High Lateral Mobility Wikimotive is a fantastically fun place to work, and the culture is unmatched. For those who are energetic and excited about working with other people, this is the place for you. Employees are regularly listened to and accommodated with people's personal lives being generally considered by management to be an extremely important part of life to balance vs. work. It is also a great place to explore your options, as the company has many positions and a knack for finding talent, and helping them fit into their best suited role. COVID-19: Preemptively sent employees completely remote and accommodated the needs of those whose families would be heavily effected through school closings.

Cons

Cons: - Ever Changing (Fast Growth) - Growing Pains - Short Staffed - Strained Communication - Limited Resources - Policy Changes (Hours, Remote Work, etc.) Wikimotive was very recently a much smaller company. With growth comes growing pains. As business grows so can the workload, but the necessary staff to meet the demand can lag behind, occasionally without communication being utilized well enough to see the problem coming, and/or realize it has arrived quickly enough. With growth also comes a need to constantly evolve. Though this is good, it leads to inevitable changes to policies that potential starting employees may take for granted (i.e. policy on hours, remote work, etc.). COVID-19: Company-wide pay alterations based on business affected by pandemic. (Overall better than many companies its size)

Pros

If you love cars - and not just the fancy ones but like the Honda Civic - this could be a good job for you, as you'll do a lot of writing about all sorts of models and their minute details.

Cons

The pay isn't great and you're expected to churn out long articles, often in excess of 1,200 words. Plus, even though the job listing mentioned more creative topics, all you'll do is write about different makes and models.
