Pros: I got to work on some really interesting articles about graphic design and architecture. The team's small, so you get to try out different tasks, which is good for learning if you're new to digital media. Great for building your portfolio as an Editorial Assistant.
Cons: Career growth is pretty tough here. There aren't many senior roles, and the company structure feels pretty flat. It's not a place for rapid promotions, especially for early career design roles.
Advice to Management: Think about creating clearer paths for advancement for your junior staff. Even in a small team, people want to see where they can go next.
