Pros
Offices: Really bright and spacious – walking distance to Penn Station, Grand Central and just about every subway line. There's also a TON of great food options in the area, with more opening all the time. Staff: A great group of young, energetic and creative professionals help to create a thoroughly enjoyable working environment. Good ideas are heard and acted upon, and there is plenty of room for lateral movement (with hard work and motivation, of course). Management: Great about hearing employee concerns and acting on / responding to them in a meaningful way. Constantly trying to find ways to make the office / work environment even better for their staff.
Cons
Offices: The company being spread out over two floors creates a bit of a disconnect between the separate teams. Additionally, a current lack of a proper receptionist / office manager on both floors also means that some of the perks like "unlimited snacks," free coffee and teas are unevenly distributed (one floor's pantry is always replenished while the other's is left virtually empty for weeks on end). Management: Communication about new business initiatives and relationships (as well as details about expectations for editors / writers and where to prioritize within the daily / weekly workflow) could use some improvement. Many of these situations feel rushed, making everything seem like a scramble to the writers.
