Pros

Summer Fridays, loose dress code

Cons

Devil Wears Prada is absolutely real. Had to ask to go to the bathroom... got yelled at for getting coffee. It's an unreal and unethical place to work.

Pros

- Name recognition & very impressive on resume - Get to work for widely known brands in publishing industry - You can talk up your job and make yourself seem like a big deal (even if you aren't) - Decent pay and benefits - Some great people to work with if you have the time to get to know anyone

Cons

- Outside offices are a dead zone: really quiet, can get boring, disconnected from main hub in NY, ONLY sales in outside offices (so they are fine places to work if you are looking to go into sales) - Everything goes on in NY offices - Old appearance of office in general, which was shocking - Dirty carpets - SLOW computers - NO upward mobility whatsoever in satellite offices (assistant and reps ONLY) - There are a few nightmares that work there, so watch out for them - NO good holiday parties or team building - You get an umbrella for Christmas from NY even though it NEVER rains in LA!!!

Pros

Great perks, good experience, working with some of the brightest minds in the industry, plenty of opportunities for growth, people here are nice and stylish. you are the crème de la crème of the industry- conde opens a lot of doors. Work is challenging but in a good way.

Cons

sucks to be reporting negative numbers every month, business model still relies heavily on print revenue, management reluctant to change (ie new technologies, innovation...etc), pay sucks especially for entry-level employees- working long hours but management refuses to pay them OT which is SO illegal. Cafeteria has great food but so overpriced.
