      Pros

      My experience has been that colleagues are highly intelligent, interesting in sharing knowledge and expertise with one another, and motivated to improve the area of the business they work within. ATK's testing and editorial approach is unique and high-quality. If you like to cook you get a lot of free magazines and cookbooks to take home.

      Cons

      While the location of the offices and proximity to T is great, the building isn't well-equipped for the current size of the organization. Individual work spaces are good, but conference spaces, restrooms, and employee kitchenette space is at a premium.

      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.

      A good resume builder for low pay

      Pros

      The company is fun to work for, since it's an active kitchen. Staff is sometimes involved in taste testing and the like, and has access to food that is not needed for testing. Generally a young, hip company with nice people who enjoy socializing outside of work. Convenient location if you're okay with taking the T. Working within the IT department helped me in getting my next job.

      Cons

      Compensation is much too low for Boston's cost of living. It was very hard to get a promotion or significant raise, even if you worked hard and received stellar reviews. I was someone encouraged to leave after 2 years because my boss couldn't give me more money and knew I had the potential to make a better living at another job. Because of the appeal of working for a PBS cooking show, staff can always be replaced by someone else eager to work there. I also found upper management to be unnecessarily secretive. No information about the company's overall vision, strategy, or financials was ever shared with the staff.
