Pros

Flexible work hours. Good place for lazy journalists who want to take home salary at end of every month for contributing meaningless content. There are indeed many losers who are still happily working here, more than half a decade. God knows, why?

Cons

The company is nothing but a content farm. No original content. The people at managerial level are unbelievably incompetent and unprofessional. Decisions are biased and the management does not take any responsibility of things in the India office. Although it is lil' better in US & UK team (Was earlier in US team) The company drastically lacks direction and keeps changing its policies. So does the new executive editor (ex-resident editor of Mid-Day & Dainik Jagran) who only works for his vested interests. There are many undeserving employees who reap high salaries by acting over-smart and nosy. The editorial is comprised of the worst and least-qualified journalists I've ever encountered. Lots of clickbait and misleading articles. Many of them can't even write basic English. Can you imagine that? IBTimes India is a dead water.

Great place to work if you like to challenge yourself. Good talented team members. Hybrid or remote is possible too.

Might not be the best fit for those who like a stable and quiet 9-5 job.
