Pros

- Smart, hard-working people at all levels. - People pull together to get things done when needed. - Most departments are not run like little fiefdoms that you have to negotiate with to get things accomplished. - For my tenure, there has been a real focus on maintaining editorial independence, objectivity and credibility. - Decent perks in terms of bonus, freebies, vacation, holidays, etc. - Some work-life balance, but the company attracts workaholics so this isn't a focus.

Cons

- Little opportunity for advancement if you're not part of the "in crowd" - Sales-driven organization means everyone else has to bend over backwards to do whatever sales wants. - Despite efforts by many teams to maintain it, in the current fiscal environment there is a real danger of losing editorial objectivity and credibility by caving to what sponsors want. - They fired the one senior management person who wanted to focus on the end-user. - No one seems to have an overall plan for success.
