Pros

Working here has been one of the most fulfilling chapters of my career. The CandyJar team is incredibly talented, collaborative, and supportive — every project feels like a true group effort, not a siloed scramble. There’s a real commitment to storytelling that matters, and our team continually encourages each other to push boundaries while supporting one another and providing resources whenever possible.

Cons

Like any production environment, timelines can get intense during certain phases. But the difference here is that no one is expected to “tough it out” alone, the team rallies and we get it done.

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.
