Pros

Big name, prestige of working at one of the top publishing companies in the world. Interesting work, subject matter.

Cons

Senior management very often don't know what they're doing - the company is controlled very politically by the Newhouse family and the senior management, many of whom don't know how to successfully run a media company in the modern age, as evidenced by their inability to decide on a direction for their online, new media, non-print aspects of the business.

Pros

Great to be in proximity to such amazing brands like Vogue, Vanity Fair and the New Yorker

Cons

Pay is absolutely criminal unless you're "bonus eligible." Another billion dollar company crying poverty. Also, absolutely zero possibility of advancement.
