Pros

-Amazing magazine brands - office location - the day to day teams you work with

Cons

- salaries are low and impossible to raise - management are absent most of the time - morale is terrible - processes are set and changed on a daily basis so you have no idea what you're doing - top heavy structure with the rest of the team actually doing all the work - very cliquey management team. - actively trying to develop a culture where you're discouraged from questioning change in process
