Pros

Good benefits, ok pay, attractive-looking people, free chips, free soda, free Cheerios, free apples, free salt, free sugar, free corn nuts.

Cons

Peter Principle writ large. Most personnel are Wall Street castoffs. Lot of fear and loathing. Old technology, big-brother culture, chaotic long hours. All sizzle no steak.

Pros

Money is pretty good, but matchable in most cases. Almost no layoffs.Offices are nice. Many things about the product are remarkable. They have the money to try to do a really excellent job. If only their editorial leadership were better.Much better place for customers than employees.

Cons

This is where dumb Nazis go to die.The number of things I had to explain to my bosses was unmatched and unmatchable. Culture was awful -- paranoid, political, risk averse. Guards follow you around the lobby and complain if your tie is on top of your ID. Cameras everywhere. Nuts all around.
