Pros

Good vacation. 401kmatch, and generally low pressure environment. Positive employee growth initiatives recent years. Nice NYC office (Hearst Tower) and unique parent (Hearst).

Cons

If you are a top performer, you will be squeezed for every drop to make up for mediocre colleagues and in effective managers... with very little reward. Raises are very low and there is no transparency on how they are allocated. If your lucky you get an "adjustment after years of low raises. News Flash - the company has had a policy of no annual raises to Senior Directors since the recession (in 2010!). They claim to make up for it in variable comp, however aftet a decade of this policy the math doesn't work. You will have those reporting to you pass you on base and sometimes all in comp. This is the case for newly promoted SD as well. The company talks out of both sides of thier mouth to justify low comp... good years or bad, they will have a reason. Work Life balance has faded esp for top contributors and esp post pandemic.
