Pluspunten

I have been writing for How-To Geek for almost a year now, and there's very little to complain about here. The editors and management usually good about communicating with the team, and any questions I've sent over messages were usually answered within a few hours. The rest of the staff has been great to work with, and they seem to genuinely care about their work. I've had issues while working remote positions at other companies—especially with communication from higher-ups—but I haven't had any of those problems while writing for HTG.

Minpunten

As with any remote position, expect to be working with staff members from different time zones and sometimes waiting hours for people to read their messages. For the most part, the editors try to answer questions on time but just be aware that you'll rarely get an immediate response to your emails. Besides that, I haven't encountered any severe problems while working for the site.

Pluspunten

The more articles you write, the more money you make! The pay is quite low, but at times they'll even openly admit they are going for quantity over quality. People with the ability to churn out basic human-written SEO internet articles can make bank.

Minpunten

The culture in the company and on the slack channel is super tech bro oriented. However, I think female tech bros exist and would do fine there. A woman who was raised around a lot of boys or wolves or something might also do fine. We may never know because I was the only female freelance writer there and I just quit. I felt ostracized when the guys joked about a woman's chest or used sexual innuendo to talk about technology or tech people. It was all innocent middle school boy humor, nothing serious. They were just wondering out loud if Elon Musk is compensating for something, etc, and it was accepted and encouraged for the guys to joke around like this with memes or words. I do not feel like I was treated differently or disrespected because I am a woman. But that is the reason that I didn't fit in. One of the editors did tell me that the reason there weren't any female editors and none or few other female freelancers was that "unfortunately, that's the demographics of the industry right now." That's not true, obviously. Overall, I'm just used to a more professional Slack channel and having a supportive female or two nearby. Culturally, this was not a good fit for me, but a more independent woman might be fine. A young tech bro would love it.
