An unhealthy place to be

Pros

Great brand. Some very sharp and hardworking colleagues.

Cons

There's been a huge talent flight over the past two years. Among the many reasons: an ego-tripping and maniulative HR department that cares only abut protecting the company from employee lawsuits (and there have been a few); senior management that completely disempowers everyone below them; a true lack of vision among leadership; lack of investment in the underlying technology platform; nearly impossible to get promoted. No career growth, intellectually or otherwise.

Not what it used to be!

Pros

Great Editorial Department. Good pay, good benefits

Cons

No work/life balance in Revenue. New revenue management doesn't care about employees. Very stressful. Talented workers are over worked and under appreciated. Stay away from the Revenue department. People are leaving in masses. It's definitely not the wonderful environment in was years ago.

Going downhill and not getting better!

Pros

- depending on which department or vertical you're in, you get to work with some talented and nice people - decent paid time off - free bottled water - good office location - free bagels on Fridays (but it's from the worst bagel place in NYC) - good summer and holiday parties - good place to start if you want to get your feet went in the digital space

Cons

- horrible maternity/paternity leave policy - not allowed to work from home unless your manager lets you under the radar - lack of direction from leadership; they're out of touch with their employees. They don't want to know who you are and don't care about you - merit bonus and raises are measly - lack of ownership/teamwork from other departments. you need to figure everything out the long and hard way. keep rolling out process than creates tension and friction between departments - high turnover on client services side. low morale due to overwhelming amount of work and lack of seasoned account teams. hiring contractors and college graduates with little to no experience does not replace someone with 10+ years of work experience - poor work/life balance and senior leadership not willing to staff with experienced candidates because they're cheap. if you do well, expect more work with no support - hard to make lateral moves due to "level/number" bureaucracy. Even if you're qualified, may not be able to make the move as your current job "number" is too low - employee performance rating feels rigged so that it's almost impossible to get 5 out of 5. Only a few dozen people in entire organization can get this score. If you make the move, you prob won't get the salary or title you deserve
