Pluspunten

Total flexibility. Can't stress this one enough. Work pretty much whenever you like, with some exceptions. If you've got an internet connection, you're good. You can even work from your phone, though it can be a pain. A laptop or desktop is recommended. The work is super easy if you're truly enthusiastic and a decent writer Pretty friendly crew, and the editors are extremely supportive. They have a vested interest in seeing you grow as a writer. Contribute a lot and do a great job, and there is definitely room to grow. If you know what you're doing, put forth a good effort, and you're consistent, they'll notice that. Even if you don't advance up the ladder, you can still become a valuable fixture of the site before long, if you write a lot and/or your articles get a lot of readership and social media traction. You'll also catch the attention of the companies whose products you're writing about. PRESS PRIVILEGES!

Minpunten

The pay is decent enough for the most part, but isn't exactly what a freelance writer would be used to. You're paid based on how many articles you write, and it can get pretty high if you're active, but don't expect a per-word rate. The way things are structured is also not like freelancing, but if you're looking to be more established, build a personal fan base, and contribute regularly, you won't be disappointed. Creative freedom is decidedly limited. The site has an established style and general voice, and you'll be expected to follow it. After all, the readers want to read AH, not your personal tech blog. That said, you're welcome to make your articles sound like "you"; implement your personal style, put your knowledge and background to work for readers, and build your articles to make the kind of reader experience and topic flow you would want if you were a reader. It can be tough and it takes time to learn, but it is rewarding. The site tends to skip a lot of hot topics in the interest of playing it safe and not presenting any bias, so you miss the opportunity to cover a lot of hot-button stuff in the tech world. Understandable, but at times disappointing.

Pluspunten

Plenty of work available and the opportunity to make more money based on a number of articles you write in a two-week time frame.

Minpunten

I think all of the editors had their own, different opinion on how the articles should be written. You would receive feedback from 5 editors throughout the day and to me, no one seemed to be on the same page. Plus you had some editors that were stricter than others. Not recommended for anyone who ever makes writing mistakes (which would be...anyone)
