      Love the people, but they lack a big picture plan

      Pros

      Great, talented people work here. They're passionate about what they do. Laid back office atmosphere. Open door policy.

      Cons

      Lack of any type of plan from upper management. It's like being on a ship without a captain. They're laying off people left and right without any consideration for anyone. The office morale is awful.

      Company is trying to find its way in the digital media space

      Pros

      Editorial teams are passionate about their content areas, whether gaming, tech, or crafts. They are extremely knowledgeable and produce great content. Also, the engineers are smart and highly capable.

      Cons

      The UK leadership doesn't understand the US market and seems to be behind market trends in general. Consequently, a strategic vision falls short and is unsustained, more reactionary and playing catch-up. The company is having a difficult time transitioning from print magazines to digital content. There have been a series of layoffs to adjust the resource mix, but there needs to be more of an idea of where things are to head. Finally, the sales team is more concerned with closing small immediate deals than with building major lucrative accounts. There needs to be more unification of goals among sales, editorial, and product teams.

      Pros

      Great environment and fun place to work. Not any real office politics.People like to work hard and play hard. Great kicked back office environment. Open minded and liberal employees for the most part.

      Cons

      Magazines are dying but they're doing well with content and some of the digital properties. Have had layoffs because the company was so heavily magazine focused.
