Pros

- NO company that I have ever worked at has a better work-life balance than HK. - The work was neat, there was a lot of autonomy. - Tech management does their best to create a cohesive group which focuses on personal growth. - Tech management does their best to listen, even if they end up disagreeing or deciding differently. - The cafeteria is a great benefit - Fitness classes are somewhat subsidized - Runner-friendly environment to work in, everybody is very excited for you when you race. - This company is full of very clever and creative people who work quite well with each other, despite bureaucracy.

Cons

- The pay is pretty low. - The health benefits are among the worst I've ever received at an employer. - All tech projects are micro-managed by the CEO. - The company is technically owned by employees, yet employees have no vote or control. - There's an awful lot of bureaucracy going on here. - Some people within the company get an awful lot of say, and nepotism abounds

Bias towards the status quo

Pros

Casual work environment. Low stress work environment. Onsite workout facilities. Coworkers are generally friendly and talented.

Cons

Cross department communication is poor. The company has struggled breaking the old business model of print publishing to new media, and although management has made changes there is a strong bias towards the status quo of publishing from the 80's/90's.
