Very positive culture, approachable management, learning opportunities, and majorly the best place if one wants to work in sports media and sees themselves working for a brand that competes with the best in the world.
Not a place if one seeks comfort (some can view this positively too)... because one has to always go out of comfort zone to drive quality/work.

Flexible timings with good remuneration. It is a remote job, which I appreciate.

There's a lot to learn. The organisation gives you the opportunity to work with the best people. With a lot of creative minds.
The compensation for the lack of work life balance simply doesn't make sense. If an employee is going out of their way to devote 12-14 hours per day, which most editors and stakeholders do the monetary benefits should be designed in a better way.

1. Work Culture 2. Open door policy - Editors and Groupheads are always available. 3. Regular skill development seminars 4. Smooth functioning
Not much except its a 6 day work week. Also the work may seem hectic initially but it's all about how you do your time management.

Work From Home opportunity with quite flexible working hours. The management and people are really nice and supportive. Great learning opportunity.
Nothing to dislike so far. If just one weekly off could be increased, it would just make things perfect over here.

It's a good place to learn new skills in the field and have hands on guidance from the mentors
Not that solid line of communication flow as things gets lost in their way coming from top to bottom

A nice place to work especially since it offers a permanent remote job location.
The meetings take more than 3-4 hours and no deduction in quota during meetings.

This job represents my first full-time opportunity within the corporate environment. I started in June 2023 as an editor, and after my potential was quickly recognized, I was promoted to the Lead Editor role within just a month. I appreciate many aspects of this organization, including the work-life balance, team culture, job security and opportunities for learning and development. My time here, only 8 months so far, has been incredibly transformative thanks to the supportive people and positive organizational culture....Read More
So far, I haven't come across any cons.

I really love the work culture and freedom to work from the comfort of my home. Plus we get to stay up to date with the sports we love. what else can we ask for?
The only thing I didn't like was that we don't get off days during festivities. Nevertheless, we can apply for leaves and if there's a high priority game, we would have watched that anyway, right?

If you love sports and writing on them, the role is best for you. Work from home, and in-house promotions are a plus here.
Sometimes, it can be difficult to balance personal life and work, because of the work load, especially during game seasons. However, it can be taken up as an advantage by some, depending on how they grasp it.

Remote work, and the ability to adjust your day according to your work timings. Good opportunity to learn new skill sets with some brilliant minds in the system.
Lack of transparency in the system, poor feedback systems, and little or no trust on their employees.
