Condé Nast reviews

Terrible infrastructure - One overwhelmed and ineffective IT employee to deal with a company where nothing works. It's been six months and they still can't get the phones to work. On-boarding issues galore - it took them 6 weeks to pay one of my colleagues. None of the internal protocols ever simply work - something always goes wrong and you have to jump through a million hoops. No HR presence in the LA office. This magnifies all the infrastructure issues. Incompetent management who don't stand up for the people who work under them. Terrible salaries for non-management and they'll fight you over any sort of OT. No culture - Even within departments people rarely interact. No happy hour drinks after work. Nobody seems to know each other nor care. It feels like a place people come to punch in and punch out and leave it at that. The vibe is often apathetic and screams "Such is life."

- Company is on the decline, so expect consolidation - There isn't really any culture compared to some other places I've worked - You might get on a bad team with a horrible work life balance and have a bad time because there isn't any overarching company goodness that ekes into every team. There was a team right next to mine that went home 1-2 hours later EVERY single night I worked there for 2 years (always so glad that was not my team) - Office recently converted to open-format, so you never have any privacy at work - Lots of senior management is stuck in the past and doesn't have the wherewithal to make the company modern - Editorial side can have too much power over business decisions, while having no idea what constitutes best business practices
