Pros

The building is one of the nicest in New York City. The environment is fun and collaborative and the people are passionate and dedicated.

Cons

The distributed nature of magazines, TV stations and newspaper locations make large scale projects extraordinarily complicated and political.

Pros

Large private company that supports its people. Continued professional growth, many great benefits only a large company can provide, sense of stability and security. It is a very approachable organization at every level.

Cons

Limited training opportunities and ability to move around the organizational units of which there are many. While I have seen more loyalty here than previous employers I think that would improve if there was opportunity to gain experience across the multi-faceted company.
