Great company to write for, but recent changes have made it less so. - Staff Writer MakeUseOf Employee Review

Pros

Friendly and supportive staff and the ability to pitch your own ideas.

Cons

Unfortunately, due to recent changes in the site's output structure, getting pitches approved is now much more difficult. This means you're not guaranteed to have work. The alternative is writing ideas pitched by the editorial team, but that depends on whether you have the experience in that area. So, I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for consistent work.

Pros

Great supportive colleagues and collaboration.

Cons

Brutal offboarding experience. They don't give notice just block you on everything and then send an 'end of work' email. Very bad HR practices.
