If you want a horrible boss you’re in luck

Real estate analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

None besides free snacks and coffee which almost every NYC company has now

Cons

Horrible bosses, no upward movement, no career development help, frequent turnover... the list goes on. You will be treated like you can be replaced in a day. No one in management will care about you as long as they’re job security is safe and pay keeps increasing as the company dies.

Media dinosaur with more bureaucracy than innovation

Branded content director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Looks great on a resume, at its best you do feel part of this iconic media lineage/legacy, we’re close the week between Christmas and New Years ever year

Cons

A lot of political maneuvering by people who aren’t invested in doing the work, everything is dictated by the sales organization so brand people have to fight to protect the integrity of their name. The video group (cne) is cannibalizing everything in name of YouTube views to varying results

Once an Elite Organization, Now a Content Factory

Designer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Came to work at Conde for the all-star talent and commitment to good work

Cons

- Magazines have become “brands.” - All design departments work on one floor, flattening the personality of each individual title and discouraging diversity. It also disrupts the collaborative relationship with Edit staff that’s crucial for the best work. - Editorial designers are given branding and advertising assignments with no increase in salary (and little appreciation). Advertising designers typically make significantly more than editorial designers: now everyone does both for the same low price. - Many layoffs, company appears unstable. Little transparency. Changes are made with no consideration for their impact on lower and middle staff. Internal messaging does not inspire confidence. - Rumors and cattiness abound, which is pretty pathetic. Little direct communication. Mostly uninspiring.
