Worst Experience of my professional life

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Reasonably nice offices. Five word minimum.

Cons

Everything else. Rewards the most mediocre people imaginable. The woman I reported to was by far the most incompetent and horrible boss I've ever encountered in 20 years of working. I was at Conde Nast Entertainment.

A good place for unhappy people to be unhappy and hateful together

Assistant manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice office. Good lunch options.

Cons

Many people are unhappy in their personal lives. Most are single, do not have children, and display zero personal depth on a basic human level. This is not to say single people can't be kind, but the people at conde can best be described as aggressively hateful to the core. I do not believe HR exists here. Low pay. Terrible managers. Zero onboarding.

No Career Growth, Low Pay, Gender Discrimination

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It's situated in World Trade Center, hence the good view.

Cons

Massive layoffs in the past few years - 50% of engineers were laid off, zero job security and pay is low especially for women, people of color and LGBT people. Good for you if you're a white male and you'll get promoted quickly. A lot of engineering managers are not competent but got to where they are due to connections with the upper management and simply because they speak up often. If you speak up and upper management KNOWS you well, you'll easily get promoted and get a raise.
