Flexible but Cheap

Pros

Good hours with little overtime expectation Fun people (for the most part) Food! Dogs, although in new building not as exciting Locatin, seaport disctrict is a nice place to work but perhaps not as accessible

Cons

Cheap - They don't pay much unless you're in the C -Suite or hand selected by someone in the C - Suite. Seems to be a culture where they don't mind a low retention rate. As the company grows and the culture shifts I think you'll likely be seeing a lot of young people coming and staying for 2-3 years then being replaced with other (sorry to say) desperate college grads looking for a full time gig. The kitchen is a different story and I cannot speak to that. As far as I can tell they too are underpaid but it's a far more ideal job for a cook.

Overall good experience

Pros

Great company culture with lots of fun activities and unlimited taste tests. People are really passionate about the work they are doing, and it shows in the product.

Cons

Low pay, but it is average for editorial work. Management can be a little old fashioned (very vertical structure, skeptical about new, innovative ideas)

Pros

I was a big fan of the brand before starting, but you don't have to be to enjoy the experience. On the digital team in particular there are a lot of really meaty and fun problems to solve. I joined at a time of transition to help relaunch all major digital properties (4 sites). The whole company is really supportive of the work the digital team is doing. Everyone I've worked with is very good at their jobs, great to get along with, and easy to respect. Being in the same building as the test kitchen is lots of fun and very energizing. There's always food to go around and it's inspiring to talk to the test cooks and hear about what they're working on.

Cons

The digital department is redefining the work it does, how it does it, as well as it's position within the company. That means that a lot is being figured out. Depending on the kind of person you are this could be challenging, or it can be seen as an opportunity to shape your work environment.
