Pros

Good company benefits, which partially compensate for the overall low salaries. Pleasant working atmosphere.

Cons

Endogamic company: HR mainly recruits professionals with previous publishing or editorial-related experience. This leads to a narrow-minded approach towards problem-solving, innovation and vision, in all levels. Very centered in its core business. Promotion is based on politics, no real career opportunities.
