Pros

Amazing work/life balance Salary is high if you come in as an external hire at a middle management/senior management level If you're a gay, young, good looking male, you will likely be promoted regardless of merit depending on who you report to.

Cons

It's a sinking ship. Very poor caliber of talent especially at the senior levels. I honestly don't understand how they keep the lights on. HR/Senior leaders will lie directly to your face. They will only ever act in the best interest of themselves. You will not learn anything worthwhile to build your skill-set. It's the perfect job if you have a family, want to make good money and be complacent. It is not a company for anyone who is ambitious.

Pros

I worked on the Content Creation team which is primarily made up of contract employees. Work is remote, but plenty of opportunities to get together in office and meet other people and socialize afterwards. Everyone on the team is great to work with, there are efficient systems in place and it is a well-oiled machine! I've done two contract rounds with them and am looking forward to my next one.

Cons

No opportunities to convert from contract to staff. There are a lot of things that aren't available to contract employees that are only available to staff (certain meetings, resources, etc). Contract employees are limited to 18 months, and then are required to take a year off.

Pros

Some very nice people; had good benefits although those are being cut back because of financial uncertainty

Cons

Fading industry, frequent layoff cycles with hints of more to come, the company is trying to innovate but some divisions are slow to modernize other than throwing around silly talking points at meetings.
