Pros

I reported directly to ethical, realistic but not complacent managers. Colleagues were very respectful but not disingenuous. The team was incredibly reliable but set meaningful boundaries The work was very creative and interesting and not just solving the same problems of every large publisher.

Cons

Director level management was unfortunately less fastidious about decision making and messaging. Many of the large initiatives failed, not on merit, but mismanagement at the director and VP level. Compensation was not unfair, but below market for technology-heavy positions.
