A great place to work if you ignore the politics

Pros

Being a private company, things happen very fast.

Cons

Although stockholders are not involved, it still takes a tremendous amount of time to make 'policy' type changes eventhough other actions occur at the flick of a switch

Glitz on the outside, hard work on the inside.

Pros

the image, the challenge, the people, reputation and creativity. It's definitely a great place to gain experience and be challenged beyond your wildest dreams. Lots of innovation and energy!

Cons

Very long hours, very competitive people and managers. The philosophy seems to be that if you do a good job, you wont be recognized because you might take it to your head and stop working like a slave. There's not a lot of loyalty and no open door policy.

Pros

The gorgeous building with beautiful people working for the most prestigious magazines. The location of the building is also pretty nice since it's in the middle of Times Square. Also, the cafeteria really has amazing food options.

Cons

I call the building "death star" because it's full of fashion robots who have sold their soul to who knows what..people don't really care about you at this company. The pay is definitely not enough and I don't know why they pay their assistants as freelance. We don't get any vacation days and no health insurance. It's a dog-eat-dog world and people there get extremely jealous. Get ready to work your ass off.
