      "Great people + Casual + Unconventional + Massively Disorganized"

      Pros

      The people are what make this company GREAT. Very social. It's smaller than you think, so if you're driven you can get your hands into multiple projects, outside your defined job description. The vibe is casual and comfortable. Very few teams are micro-managed. You can stroll in 10 minutes late and it's no big deal.

      Cons

      There is absolutely no structure in place when it comes to A LOT of things. No one has been reviewed in YEARS. Raises are an anomaly. Aggressive sales people will get their way, even if it goes against what's best for the company as a whole. Upper level management don't currently get along which has caused major rifts between departments.

      Great place for networking and experience across multiple platforms, not a career-oriented place you settle at

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Fun environment (it's Maxim), most employees are laid back and easy to get along with, excellent opportunities to carve out your own path and take on/learn new responsibilities that are outside your range of experience.

      Cons

      Very long hours in the office and weekend events = poor work/life balance, no clear direction from management regarding overall brand objectives, personal responsibilities, issues/disputes with internal and external counterparts, building revenue often means sacrificing editorial integrity and employee satisfaction, raises/promotions are far and few between
