Pros

You have one of the ultimate names in Media at your disposal.

Cons

There is so much infighting between the divisions that nothing operates as efficiently as it should. Prevents the technology from being advanced as it could be.

Pros

- Cafeteria - Beautiful Office - Name

Cons

- It really depends on what magazine you work for and it's management team. Some are better than others but it's a crapshoot - do your HW before taking a job. - The traditional media landscape is bleak, extremely volatile.
