Pros
Fun, smart people Lots of opportunities to develop new skills Good networking with other employees
Cons
They hire contact workers to avoid paying benefits How they think you're performing is never clearly communicated, and the expectations change all the time You could be doing well and above what you have been asked to do, and think you're doing an amazing job and then suddenly you're let go because your role or the company structure has changed. This has happened to several Upworthy employees over the years. Unlimited vacation = no vacation because you're too afraid to take time off
