Business outlook
Pros
Great benefits package and fairly accommodating attitude towards time off, half-day Fridays in summer, lots of talented people who create terrific books.
Cons
Hard to reconcile personal political opinions with the shame of being associated with Fox "News" and the Murdoch empire. Although there is some amazing talent within the company, it's not a place where one finds a lot of support or encouragement from upper management. Lots of favoritism, "managing up" rather than mentoring, and a corporate attitude that thinks it's okay and expected to work everyone to a frazzle in pursuit of larger and larger profits. HR is the last place you'd go for help unless you're a manager, no safety there for the average worker bee.
