Condé Nast reviews

Things were very unorganized and confusing. The processes would never match up with what was actually taught. Do not accept this job if you are looking for a 9-5 position, if you left at 6 you would get dirty looks (even though normal business hours were supposed to be until 5:30). Some people that worked there were very catty and condescending.

Management are usually a bunch of talking heads who as another reviewer mentioned are overpaid and don't understand the business. Two years is somewhat standard for a promotion for some divisions but playing office politics is the name of the game. One other thing, if you don't follow the "Condé dress code" you can pretty much expect to be ostracized. Pay scales are not structured anywhere except for the tech side. Many of my co-workers who are extremely talented and were severely underpaid left CN for better companies due to this. CN still clings to this idea that the prestige of working for them beats equitable pay. CN needs to wake up and realize it's in a dying industry and there are other companies that are eating their lunch with smarter and more innovative strategies/technology.
