Condé Nast reviews

Silent Layoffs in Progress: The company has mastered the art of cutting costs without making headlines. Strict HR policies are designed to push employees out without officially firing them. Non-Existent Career Growth: If you're in India, forget about climbing the ladder. All decision-making power is hoarded by the US and UK offices. The highest position you'll see in India is a manager pretending to be a leader. Leadership Exodus: Top managers leave faster than new employees can learn their names. Every few months there's a re-org because the company itself doesn't know what it wants to be. Not a Tech Company, Just a Digital Magazine: The company sells itself as a tech-driven media company, but 90% of the work is about appeasing magazine editors and posting updates in Slack groups. Time Over Talent: The biggest metric for success here is clocking in your hours. It doesn't matter how productive you are — what matters is that you sit at your desk long enough to be seen.

1: All 5 days work from office, 2: Worst management ( less resource and more manager - team size 10 and out of which 5 are managers only) Working at this company has been a nightmare since 2023 post new VP and his friends joined this company. The management is completely out of touch with the team’s needs. The worst manager I’ve ever encountered is in charge of our department, showing favoritism and undermining anyone who dares to challenge their decisions. To make matters worse, the VP is all about office politics. Instead of fostering a supportive environment, they thrive on manipulation and creating divisions among teams. There’s a constant sense of anxiety, as everyone is trying to navigate the political landscape rather than focusing on their work. I’ve never felt so undervalued in my career.
