Great Company and Team's

Pros

Challenging - Day-to-day you will be challenged working for or at Demand Media. Entrepreneurial Environment - Ability to take hold of a product, project or initiative and see it through to the end. Great People - Friendly co-workers who will work by you side every day. Culture - The culture team does an amazing job of offering many perks and benefits for its employee's

Cons

Some Upper Mgmt - A few challenging relationships to manage internally. Really depends upon the team you work for. Stale Product? - Worrysome if eHow/Livestrong/Cracked are what they used to be Pressure - A lot of pressure to produce results. I personally thrive in that type of environment, but for some it could be a bit much.

Pros

I really like the people here. Genuinely nice folks. Very pleasant to work with. Trying to grow and change. Open to new ideas.

Cons

Saying you want to improve your business is hard when so many people are still playing like (old) business as usual. There were instances where senior execs said they wanted to change but the middle management just wanted to keep pressing forward with the same plan. That was frustrating as I was hired to help make thing better.

Pros

Great perks, good office location (lake view!), friendly management

Cons

Not a thriving startup or a staple like Microsoft or Amazon. It's in between and takes patience, but seems to be going in good direction.
