Sportskeeda "Salary" Reviews

Likes

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 man agers 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

1) As a social media person, I learnt quite a few things which I didn't know. 2) You'll learn playing with excel and numbers. 3) Peer to Peer learning exists, especially from upper management (but totally depends on how your manager is) Some managers are good, some are really really bad. PS: Hiring at SK is really bad at management level....Read More

Dislikes

1) Salary will remain the same if you're on contract in the social media team. 2) You'll NEVER become permanent unless you have a team working under you. 3) There's no security at job. If a page closes because of low performance and your manager's mistakes, you can be fired. 4) Favou ritism at its peak. Affiliate marketers and content writers will come and give you gyaan. 5) There are NO HOLIDAYS. Yes, no Independence Day, no weekends, no Diwali, no Holi. It's a 365 day working position. 6) If you're the social media executive, you're also the copywriter and the graphic designer. 7) If work demands, you'll be called at 11 in the night for a task. Days are really tiring and can extend upto 15-18 hours of work days. Personally, I've at least been awake till 3-4AMs for 30-40 days of my entire stint....Read More

I'm struggling to come up with anything positive.

Dislikes

Company does not believe in training its staff based on requirements, which leads to below-average output. Disgruntled employees, as a result of poor compensation, and an unprofessional management, which does not trust its staff and refuses to delegate work effectively, add to the sorry state of affairs</mark>. Man-management skills are sorely lacking and those in charge only believe in processes that track quantitative output and not qualitative offering. As a result staff spend very little time on improving quality and always feel being targeted and asked to pay the price for incoherent top-down policies. Despite working there, I would not depend on SK, on my life, for sports news. What they dish out, I'm sorry to say, is speculative at best and sloppy at worst....Read More
