The growing pains of digital medai

Pros

Beautiful working facilities--location, building, cafeteria, gym, offices. Decent salaries and benefits, opportunities for growth. Because it's a private company, you are somewhat insulated from the harsh growth expectations associated with working at public companies.

Cons

Tension between new/old media staffs. For all publishers, it's a challenge navigating the new realities of digital media and you can feel that here. It's a large organization so it can feel less than nimble.

Pros

Nice people, Hearst Digital Media lets you break rules and have space for creativity, great cafe, hands-off managers who trust employees

Cons

No room for growth, a lot of energy-sucking people who hide in corners and phone in their work, lack of passion for the company's high-level mission
