Pros
They respect your personal time outside the office. I came from companies that kept me on call 24x7, understaffed my department, and constantly made me clean up after inadequate budgets. As a matured resource with a family, this is important. Also, most of the technical staffers are great to work with, and they attempt to have social events that aren't the typical immature startup kid stuff. Technically they are also on the bleeding edge of AWS deployment technologies, which keeps things interesting. The takeaway is that Advance is a good place to work if you want a stable job without the NYC commute, that lets you have a family life at a reasonable salary.
Cons
All of the cons about working at Advance are related to old school approach of the company, because at its core, it is managed by its parent company which is dominated by news and magazine print leadership that entered the digital media market out of necessity. This results in treating technical resources that are used to a modern technical workforce approach (telecommuting, flexible schedules, etc), as desk drones that punch a clock and prove their worth by sitting at a desk. Their HR policies are strange, and managed by a sister company that complains about 'unexcused absences' making me feel like I'm back in middle school. Their attempts to be more 'Agile' in development have resulted in a lot of bureaucracy and small silo'd 'product' teams that consist of almost half non-technical members. There seems to be more interest in hiring 'coordinators' to make better use of technical resources, than actually just hiring more technical resources to get the work done - but that is a common mistake of larger companies. One of the strangest cons though, is one that I've never experienced a tech job. You practically need to wait for someone to retire or die for any promotion opportunities to present themselves. I've never worked at a tech company with this many "lifers", many of which are misfit toys who have grown soft in their ability to take on new challenges - managers and technical resources alike. The review process is similar in that it rewards mediocrity as a dulling print business would, and does not operate like a tech company.
