Pros

2 weeks off at the end of the year. If you are good there are opportunities to grow. On finance team there are a lot of smart folks.

Cons

Too many unprofessional college grads. I lost the count how many times some "creative" guy hit a Send to All button instead of sending to the desired individual.

Pros

I'm surrounded by people who are not just talented but also extremely devoted to their jobs. It makes for an inspirational work environment and my manager and colleagues have all been very helpful and supportive, which has been important to my growth as someone who is new to the industry.

Cons

It would be nice to receive more feedback on my work and how I could better assist the editors on my team. HR has put in place a standardized, annual self-review/evaluation process, but it would be helpful to receive feedback more frequently than just once a year, even if it's just an informal, 10-minute conversation that goes beyond what I should prioritize day-to-day, and touches on what sort of long-term goals and skills I should be working to develop (and how I should achieve them.)
