The place to start; not the place to stay

Pros

Work/life balance, PTO, great colleagues, great place to start at a first corporate job, learn a fair amount

Cons

-You can put in your time and have great performance reviews but still utterly impossible to move up -Your boss or colleague leaves, in order to save every last time you and/or your colleagues will be forced to do the job under the guise of "it's a great opportunity" when really the job is split amongst who is left -Having a manager in a different country who "doesn't understand" U.S. HR policies and thus have the ability to play dumb when it comes to grade level ranges, working hours and salaries -High performers are given more work but it's actually a curse, not a blessing - low performers get away with being incompetent -For a large corporate company I am shocked by the lack of protocol and the way people can "cut corners" - just because it works fairly in one dpt does not mean things will be fair in another

Pros

Managers are good and the benefits are pretty good.

Cons

Upper management looks at employees as just products and not as people. Over the last year or so there have been hundreds of layoffs not based on seniority or merit. They have have been very upfront that they are beginning to outsource most of their editorial work to other vendors outside of North America and Europe.

No Longer "The Place to Be"

Pros

Decent location with on-site cafeteria, close to NJ transit/PATH trains, on-site exercise classes (if you have time) and decent pay for the publishing industry.

Cons

The company is undergoing an extensive restructuring. It's unclear if management actually has a cohesive plan for how to meet demands of digital industry; they don't seem to really understand technology. Management has also been secretive about layoffs; every day there are more people who lose their jobs or quit out of sheer exhaustion/frustration. Morale is as low as it can go.
