Pros
- Many smart, dedicated, hard-working professionals who really care. - Nice facilities in good locations. - Subsidized parking & public transportation. Lots of free food in NYC office. - Some flexibility with schedules, depending on manager. - Recognized, trusted brand.
Kontras
- Trying to get by with too few staff, being paid too little. Few opportunities for growth. Very low morale. This was not always the case. - Very little work/life balance, especially for a company that talks a good game about 'wellness.' - Maternity leave policy was surprisingly limited and was only updated when employees staged a petition campaign. - Dramatic changes in annual review process, very obviously to weed out 'undesirables' or provide rationale for layoffs. Long-time high performers dropped to low performers. - Newer employees have bonuses capped at less than half the levels of tenured colleagues in the same roles. - Company used to place a very high priority on the end user, ensuring content was credible, unbiased and up to date, as well as protecting user privacy. This is being eroded quickly due to market pressures.
