Pros
Insider is a place where you starting writing stories on day one, no matter your level of experience, and the only limiter to how high you climb is you. The company is young(ish) and scrappy, which means every position is hands on. Most writers pitch their own stories, so they can dig into what excites them and build a beat around that. Anyone can pitch to the features desk, which is like the SEAL Team Six of Insider: It works on longform investigations on the people and companies shaping our world. You will also receive mentorship from senior editors and writers and participate in semiweekly trainings on topics ranging from SEO optimization to headlines to landing a big scoop.Cons
