Can you play the office politics game?

Pros

One nice thing about working for a big company is that there are several directions you can go... Also, the perks and benefits here are good.

Cons

Politics, politics, politics. Plus, the current econonmy isn't doing Conde any favors. Times are tough, people are stressed, and money is the ONLY thing on anyone's mind. Turnover is pretty high -- No one's job is safe.

Opportunities make this a great place to be... for now.

Pros

While not everyone outside of New York will know the name of the overall company, they'll definitely know one of the titles you work for (GQ, Vogue, The New Yorker, etc). Great for a resume. The things you work on (style, fashion, food, travel) are probably a lot more exciting than working in insurance or accounting. Once you're in, they are very good about letting you jump from publication to publication. So if you're a marketing associate in one group and the path to marketing manager at your job is blocked or one opens at another magazine, you can switch over and get a raise/title that way.

Cons

Entry level employees can be overworked and underpaid. If you're getting into the magazine publishing industry now, you'd be blind not to know that the industry is undergoing a drastic change.

Pros

always time to joke around. the messes are understood to exist, so they are excused when they get in the way. not afraid of trying new things.

Cons

invests blindly in new things without evaluating them properly. do not seek to improve slowly, but rather make drastic changes to compensate, creating new messes. lots of instability. persons in control are not completely qualified for their titles.
