Pros
Work - Life balance is recognized by most junior execs. The parent org (Reed Elsevier) seems to have a tight control on the benefits - this is very positive. Benefits and 401k are the best in town!
Cons
Most middle level and senior execs have a condescending attitude towards junior associates and leaders. Can't break into other areas and most senior leaders are hesitant, if not afraid, to let their people explor new opportunities internally. Very secretive of the plans - one never knows how secure they really are in their role or the organization. Even senior managers cannot guarantee in good faith if their subordinates will be around or if they'll get caught up in the next round of synergies.
