A large publishing company that offered some great experiences ... but with continuous change and heavy workloads.
Pros
The small group that I worked with was wonderful! I would always say that the people I worked with was what kept me coming back on a daily basis - that never changed. I also thought that the benefit packages they offered were pretty competitive - I liked the 4 different plan options, and they did their best to not hike up the premiums each year, and take some of it on as a Company.
Cons
When the leadership team changed (CEO and Executive Team) in September 2012, the culture and everything about the company really changed. While I understand that a large company like that needs to make some significant changes to move forward and grow ... the pace that those changes took place, and the lack of thought about process and who all of these changes would effect, just wasn't for me. With the CEO's mantra of "Speed, Focus and Collaboration" - I really feel like "speed" was the only thing that the executive team really focused on. The work load was pretty heavy, and with the continuous org-changes - the folks left behind were left with even more work.
