They pay on time and will be honest about pay scale.
Dislikes
Most unprofessional place I've worked out in 10 years of content writing with dozens of sports outlets. You must be on call all day waiting for assignments. Sometimes you'll get them back to back. Other times they'll ghost you for five hours and expect you to do all your work in final three hours or be on clock extra long
Content managers assign topic and give you their tips. You'll do that and get the editor telling you that was wrong and to do the opposite of what content manager told you. One of the managers called the entire writing staff lazy and claimed he saw people work harder in tropical storm conditions.
They expect you to be happy for a job and deal with disrespect or mismanagement. I was also "suspended" for my article being too similar to another on another outlet. Keep in mind - you write via keywords they give you and other sites do that too. So if you do what they tell you, they'll still punish you.
Basically you must be extremely desperate for money or working here will be a headache....Read More

A wide variety of topics to cover. A good place to learn the ins-and-outs of SEO article writing and gain some insights into entertainment reporting.
Skill development - Good
Dislikes
It's up to you to enforce work-life boundaries. There is no paid time off. Contracts can be exploitative, trying to extract more labor for less pay.
The company is an exellent trainer for freshers and educate very well. I started here as a fresher and they have taught me each and everything patiently.

They have flexible hours and you can write as much or as little as you want. The managers are more than understanding and leaves are approved pretty easily.

Dislikes
The pay is stagnant and hasn’t increased in over 2 years. There is very little option of upward mobility if any and there is no chance of making this a stable job.

Learned a lot on how to write good articles
Dislikes
--> No major salary benefits
--> Company exploits it's writers. The Managers fill their pockets while you won't get a penny for the hardwork
Overall, the worst company experience.
Exposure is somewhat okay. Contractual writers can choose their own schedule, but they'll have to be vigilant to avoid being exploited.
Job security - Good
Dislikes
>Lack of work/life balance: The work culture is very typical of Indian companies — "The employee will definitely work better if they're put under pressure, right?" — This is the general belief trickling down through management. As a result, employees in certain posts are expected to be a machine, available for the company's demands 24/7. God forbid if they have a life of their own.
>Miscommunication: Sometimes it may feel as if the higher management have no clue about what they're doing, and rely entirely on those at the very bottom — the writers.
>Too much work for too little pay: The very backbone of the company are its writers, and yet, they aren't paid much, or treated like anything but company assets. The situation is worse for those who go up the ladder, but not by a significant step. The expectations turn out to be unreal at times, and exploitation becomes the keyword here....Read More
