Pros

There are some nice people.

Cons

Culture is pretty terrible. People who have been there forever get away with being seriously inappropriate, lazy and rude. Forbes is also operating like an old school media company stuck in the past, with old people and old technology,

Boss was a micromanager

Business outlook

Pros

Access you get to plan events with amazing sponsors, high networth people, influencers and world changers

Cons

My boss was a total micromanager and she has been there for decades. If you're not working in sales or editorial then the company culture is super old school, especially in the events department. Very little room for growth and mentorship in her department. Base pay is very low and small raises come every 2 years or so.
