Pros

I was a part-timer at Techweek but feel like I was part of the full-time team. The best part of Tech week is: - the business is really growing and it is fun to be part of a successful effort - you are given (and can take) a lot of responsibility and learn a ton - you get to meet very interesting companies and people given all the organizations that partner with Techweek (its a great way to see other jobs too!) - if you do your job, you are appreciated - its that simple. - encourages risk taking and learning from mistakes - good communication from management re: big picture/strategy (more than I would have expected)

Cons

- the actual office is nothing special (physically) - there has been some turnover which isnt discouraged... up or out... this is good I guess but can be somewhat unsettling - put in alot of hours leading up to conferences... but the reward after a great event feels worth it! - fairly new management change so still figuring out their "plan" - not always good communication between different teams but I saw that improving too
