Pros

NO PROS to working here!! You will risk your mental and eventually physical health.

Cons

Listen to the reviews - listen to everything you hear about this place..it is hell on earth working for the CEO and any of his minions aka upper management. You will be severely undervalued and taken advantage of. You will be underpaid and lied to. The CEO is so arrogant and delusional he thinks that he has a good idea that is going to actually take off but you have to work here to see it/believe it. Everyone thinks he is a joke and rightfully so but noone says anything because they have to keep their jobs and pay. Trust me Ali - you are the worst there is.. protect yourselves, DO NOT WORK HERE!!

Pros

- Being able to lead projects independently from A to Z and be trusted for it - Engaging daily with a creative and passionate team - Being part of exciting new projects in a fast-paced, fast-evolving industry - Steep learning curve, you'll be pushed out of your comfort zone and grow fast

Cons

Inkitt is a fast-paced start-up with no set playbook. People who love structure and need to be managed and told what to do may find it challenging.

Pros

Inkitt is one of the few places that actually sits between tech and media in a way that works. A manuscript comes in, real reader behavior tells you whether the story has legs, and the team turns that signal into a career for the author. I think about reader retention and narrative pacing in the same conversation now, which I didn't before.

Cons

The flip side is that the playbook doesn't fully exist yet. Some weeks you're inventing the process while running it. Energizing if you like ambiguity, exhausting if you don't. Worth being honest with yourself about which camp you're in before signing on.
