One of the worst places to work at with some of the worst people in NYC

Pros

Snacks and beer every day

Cons

The people I worked with were some of the most ignorant, insecure, obnoxious, incapable, the list goes on, people. Most everyone there has adopted a childlike attitude about everything work related. You'll need to be a die hard video game player to fit in with these types of people.

Eroding Culture & Sinking Ship

Business Outlook

Pros

-Good name to have on resume -Ability to make connections with people who are reputable in the industry -Good work/life balance, but it depends on your team -Nice office/views

Cons

When I first started here, I thought that CN would be a place I could build my career. Amazing culture, nice/smart people who were willing to collaborate, taking strides to be innovative in digital, thriving team who were proud of their work. That has eroded over the years as constant layoffs have cut the teams in half. Culture is non-existent. Feel like a corporate drone. -Highly political (if you are not well-liked it will be known) -No career advancement -Not competitive salary -Constant layoffs (not just on print, but also every other team in the building) -Extremely hard to get things done on the product & design side since their reorganization -Feel like the company is at a standstill as they are waiting for a new CEO -Slow to adapt to new technologies, always playing catch-up
