Pros
A lot of very smart, hard-working and dedicated people work at this company. It's a solid place to launch your career, with a reputation for quality content and editorial integrity. Experiences differ from department to department, but overall management is reasonable in terms of work-life balance and flexibility.
Cons
The company struggles in a changing media climate, trying to figure out how to monetize as print declines. This has resulted in deep cuts in benefits and perks that once made Crain a great place to work. Management makes decisions in silos and rarely communicates the direction things are going. In turn, a lot is left to the imagination, thus sparking the rumor mill. This applies to both the individual brands and corporate.
