Pros

- Great for a first job transitioning out of college. Has a very laid back environment and encourages people to mingle and network outside of the workplace. - It is very easy to get to know people and you can advance if you work hard and make yourself visible.

Cons

- The sales department isn't very clear on boundaries. The "work hard/play hard" motto is encouraged but it can be hard to draw the line between work and fun - In my experience, the salaries were not competitive with other publishers

Pays well.

Pros

The company pays well, cares about professional development and has great benefits.

Cons

This is your typical corporate environment. If you don't care for human interaction and emotion - this is the place for you (depends on office location though). It's very stoic, and teams members tend to point blame a lot. It's hierarchical meaning - everyone looks to please their direct manager. Growing pains are slow and tedious. It seems a lot of people are insecure so they are quick to react if toes are stepped on.
