Pros

- Great benefits (generous time off/sick leave, health/dental/vision, life insurance, 401k with matching) - Observant types can absorb marketing and business fundamentals - Many people are friendly and nice - Looks good on a resume - Social environment can be a plus for some (There's a bar in the building.)

Cons

- Lack of marketing strategy. Produce now, think later attitude. - Terrible internal communication. Goals between departments not aligned. LOTS of redundant work. - Rush jobs and late hours tend to be a product of short-term thinking, not project importance. - No career path. I saw lots of outside hires for management positions, few internal promotions. - No career growth. Education and professional development almost nonexistent. - Little to no professional feedback. - Competing viewpoints, no clear direction or structure. Be prepared to undo months of work according to upper management whims. - Creative projects tend toward fact-checking and content management, not actual creativity. - Secretive, "inner circle" environment. You have to play the game. - Proposed changes are superficial (relaxed dress code, more couches) and don't address the real issues.
