Pros

the prestige is by far the best reason, especially if you expect your career to exist within organizations that recognize the reputation of the place. there can be some cool perks in terms of gifts you may receive from the publishers or editors when an award or business goal is met.

Cons

politics and incompetent management. everyone in the building is hired by someone who knows someone, so you can never be sure in who's interest it is to keep certain employees around. brown-nosing is the best way to protect your position and have less battles for promotions - but there is also a backstabbing culture so you can also never be sure when someone will turn! basically, watch your back and take what you can from the experience and move on!

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.
