Pros

Great perks: extra vacation days, museum admissions, beauty sales, brand recognition etc. Good place to start if you are new to your field or looking to gain some experience, or if you are more of a senior role looking to make your personal stamp in a large company.

Cons

The mid levels positions seem to dwindle and Conde Nast a company that honestly shows little loyalty to their employees that work hard for them. Seen lots of lay offs from different brands and departments and "corporate restructuring". They seem to find some of their talented employees expendable. Great place for newcomers or senior levels but mid level people be weary. Your HR team works hard to find you great talent, learn to utilize your employees for their skills instead of creating a high turnover for your company. Environment in the corporate section seems very much like high school and very cliquey. Very much corporate and lacking transparency.

Struggling with Digital

Pros

Beautiful, glossy print magazines—that are getting thinner and thinner each month. Talented, passionate, creative people. Name recognition.

Cons

Paranoid atmosphere, since they're often pushing people out to make way for younger, cheaper editors. (Especially in the digital realm, where they often hire men to run their women's sites—Vogue, Allure, W.) Desperate print people clinging to their jobs, and trying to hijack digital. Lack of digital vision from the higher ups. Cliquey culture.

Pros

It is a steady job (if they don't squeeze you out).

Cons

Lives up to its horrible reputation, especially in terms of management. Passive-aggressive, manipulative, scapegoating and witch hunting. Employees are TOLD what to do, never asked for opinions. Management is sloppy and downright demeaning. Fear/punishment-based operation...morale is extremely low. Upper management self-promotes while constantly skimming from employee budgets and self-respect.
