Pros

- Your experience will depend on your department/team, but in my case all team members were easy to get along with and great to work with - Great benefits: excellent insurance, PTO, and 401K - Opportunity to travel - My management team gave me many opportunities to learn and take on high level projects - Great work life balance

Cons

- Low pay with little raises - Zero room for growth unless someone leaves - Top heavy; VPs and above are always getting promoted or extra pay, but nothing for the people below them - Zero communication or interaction between departments - Lack of diversity and no clearly defined company culture or mission statement

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.
