Pros

Communication between departments within media engineering is excellent. Management and Senior Management are very skilled and respectable. Their ideas are creative and notable. The company culture is very friendly and open, you can be honest with managers and senior managers, and they will be honest with you. The compensation is good. The benefits are above average.

Cons

Bad press because of underpaid editors and authors creating bad content. Lack of engineering background by senior management and product management.

Pros

Demand Media seemed too good to be true when I started in January 2010. I made almost $30.00 an hour writing research-based how-to articles. There was a large pool to choose from and work was accepted when written according to voice guidelines and quality of research.

Cons

Work began diminishing and is now almost completely gone without much explanation from the company. No benefits unless you live in certain states, etc. I still have title selecting work occasionally, but writing is pretty much non-existent now unless you know how to build a space ship in 500 words or less.

Pros

Young and nimble company. Willing to try things out and if they don't work not afraid to drop non productive initiatives. Very data driven, management makes decisions based more on data then on feelings. The general employee population is a higher caliber person highly skilled in the area they are responsible. Feels like a small company but has the infrastructure and support systems of a larger company.

Cons

There is a little left over baggage from some acquisitions that need to be better integrated into the whole company. Some teams don't like to at least look at ways process could improve the business so there is a limit to how much a good process can be repeated.
