Pros

The company has seen a lot of growth in the last year especially, and continues to aggressively seek new opportunities. This means lots of opportunities for employees to branch out, take on new challenges, learn, and find ways to stand out. The company's culture has improved as efforts have been made to have more events for employees, upgrades have been made to the office, and other small perks here and there. I like the people I work with, and people seem to generally look out for each other.

Cons

The work can be very demanding and require long hours, and there isn't much guarantee of when that will be, since some kind of client need is usually the basis, and the company has little control over that. Working late into the night or on the weekends is not uncommon. It can also be very uninspiring or unexciting work, but that's just the nature of advertising, at least when it's not your own brand you're working on.

Pros

CitizenNet acts like a start up in a lot of ways, even after they were acquired by Conde Nast (which is a testament to the strength of their current business and long term vision). My primary role is in business development, but they've encouraged me to contribute to the marketing team as it is a career path I'm considering. There is also an incredible culture there. One of my favorite cultural dimensions is around learning. Management has set up weekly Java script trainings that are open to the whole company - even those of us on the business side, they have a budget to help employees get to conferences and trainings that interest them, and they have multiple weekly meetings where folks can share what they've learned or challenges they are facing.

Cons

I love the rec area with table tennis and pool tables. We don't get to use that room as often as I had imagined - maybe we can start to host monthly lunch and learns there or pool/table tennis tournaments! Also, it's so interesting some of the Conde Nast brands sit across the hall. I'd love to learn more about what they do and if we can partner with them in other ways, but not sure how to approach this.
