Pros

-Good name to have on resume -Ability to make connections with people who are reputable in the industry -Good work/life balance, but it depends on your team -Nice office/views

Cons

When I first started here, I thought that CN would be a place I could build my career. Amazing culture, nice/smart people who were willing to collaborate, taking strides to be innovative in digital, thriving team who were proud of their work. That has eroded over the years as constant layoffs have cut the teams in half. Culture is non-existent. Feel like a corporate drone. -Highly political (if you are not well-liked it will be known) -No career advancement -Not competitive salary -Constant layoffs (not just on print, but also every other team in the building) -Extremely hard to get things done on the product & design side since their reorganization -Feel like the company is at a standstill as they are waiting for a new CEO -Slow to adapt to new technologies, always playing catch-up

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.
