Jekyll and Hyde company. The good was really good, and the bad was really bad.

Pros

The benefits were the best I'd ever had: full health coverage (they paid 100%), 3 weeks paid vacation plus the week between Christmas and New Year's. Very casual workplace, in terms of dress code, hours, etc. As long as you got the job done and done well, that's all that mattered.

Cons

Upper management at the time was careless, rushed decisions, took stabs in the dark. Way too much guessing, and not enough fact-based research or support. Always felt like it could come crashing down anyday, which it did in April 2007.

Good people, questionable judgment...

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent work culture, progressive company

Cons

No one has much faith in the judgment of senior management. The company has declared bankruptcy at least once and has subsequently undergone some major bloodletting, in particular eliminating a host of magazines and employees in the process. There had always been big concerns among the rank-and-file that the company was trying to "grow, grow, grow" at all costs -- and those fears were ultimately founded. Cool people, great benefits -- just don't plan on being secure for the long haul.
