I was on of the Summer 2009 Conde Nast Summer Internship Program and was personally placed with Lucky Magazine

Advertising & sales intern, summer internship program

Pros

The pro's of the Conde Nast Summer Internship Program are endless. Out of the ongoing list, my top three pro's would have to be the following: 1. Unbelievable dedication to making sure every intern was given a complete understanding and experience of the entire Conde Nast/publishing industry, regardless of personal placement. 2. The entire Conde Nast company/all employees were delightful to work for and extremely kind, genuine, and always willing to help clarify or further explain 3. The Conde Nast building (4 Times Square) is impeccably clean, easy to commute to, and very safe

Cons

The only "con" that I can truly admit to after spending three months at Conde Nast was that as a part of the internship program, the compensation was a measly $8 per day...very hard to be able to afford when being a college student in NYC!

Pros

I really don’t have anything to highlight here

Cons

The company’s leadership culture is deeply concerning. There appears to be a pattern of behavior where poor treatment of employees is normalized, and at times even worn as a point of pride. This creates an unhealthy and demoralizing work environment. A consistent lack of integrity and emotional intelligence among leadership makes it difficult to build trust or feel supported. Decisions often come across as self-serving, with little regard for employee well-being or perspective. Overall, the leadership approach feels disconnected, lacking empathy, and undermines both morale and long-term organizational success.
