Pros
Spent nearly four years at the company and can honestly say that I've loved most of the people that I've met and worked with at Tech.Co - with some of them being my closest friends to-date. Individually, I think it would be safe to say that each person at the company is a fundamentally good person (yes, even the cofounders, Frank and Jen). Outside of leadership, everyone develops great rapport and morale is kept high because team members work so well together.
Kontras
Leadership is terrible. Again, great people individually, but they're terrible leaders. There's very little transparency about the state of company affairs (e.g. how we're doing business-wise), they're very slow to respond to the needs of individual employees, and fail to unify the team and improve overall morale. Because of staff limitations, each employee (and non-employee) is forced to work beyond their contracted or standard work hours. There is very little work-life balance and mentorship of any kind should not be expected. They have proposed company values that they will constantly remind you about; yet, very few of those values are actually carried out by leadership. Having worked on the editorial side, leadership will do as much as possible to pay writers as little as they can; expect to get paid at rates WAY BELOW the standard rates for freelance articles and expect them to suddenly forget renegotiation and auto-renew your previous contract. If they can get free labor, they'll opt for it - and current interim leadership on the editorial team is a supporter of no pay/low pay for very recent college grads or current college students (unpaid internships and the like). They have many lofty goals for what their content production should look like, but fail to invest in the manpower to try to achieve those goals; instead, they depend on their small staff to try to achieve benchmarks (often found myself working 80+ hours per week). The company has rebranded as a media company but fails to operate as such. They fail to understand that in order to reach some level of journalistic authority, it must - at the very least - not have the CEO also serve as the executive editor. Because of this structure, there is no one in a role to defend writers and editors on the editorial team, and decisions revolving the editorial staff and editorial content are founded primarily on business-motivated reasons. If you are a writer or editor, I strongly advise you go elsewhere - you will get paid very little for a lot of work and for very little support.
