Pros

-- Outstanding Facilites -- Wonderful (and Talented) People -- Noteworthy Perks -- Catered lunches, fully-stocked common areas, plush accommodations, etc. -- Tech-Savvy -- Dial in, live streaming, plenty of conference rooms...it's a well-oiled machine Demand Media does excel in terms of their location, and facilities. The recently renovated building is gorgeous, inside and out and feels very humble and welcoming. Hands down, the best part about working with Demand is the people and the passionate culture (so long as the company itself is doing well, which it isn't.)

Cons

-- Losing massive amounts of money -- Financial Hardships -- Constant Restructuring and Reorganization -- Layoffs are constant -- Owned and Operated Proprieties are failing to turn a profit -- eHow is dead in the water Stocks and shares are down, and the company is desperately trying to do constant damage control. Long-time executives have been terminated, or asked to leave. Restructuring of properties is a futile and near worthless attempt...it's more like resuscitation at this point, and everything is flat-lining. The CEO's vision doesn't match the business model, either. Layoffs are constant, with 25-30 a month for the past couple of months.
