Ok, but not challenging

Pros

It's a steady as she goes company. Has good flagship products which have carried this private, family owned company for many decades. Fairly family-friendly policies. Can be a good company as a stepping stone.

Cons

Can find pockets of innovation but has an old-school media company feel overall. Made some pretty deep workforce cuts during the recession. Business units have autonomy, downside is a silo effect.
