Pros

Great team environment, very welcoming, and was given the opportunity to engage employees of all levels. Strong emphasis on benefits and educating the employees on how to best use them, quarterly meetings for senior management to let everyone know how Forbes is moving forward. Was easy to maintain work-life balance.

Cons

Average salaries. Departments do not offer the same rate of promotion, especially if you are outside of the income- or content-generating realm.

Pros

Strong brand with enormous global reach and authority. Looks great on the resume. The organization itself offers great opportunities and you get to work with a lot of inspiring, go-getting colleagues.

Cons

Brand dilution is real -- Forbes has so many brand licensing deals and rents its name out so frequently that the value often gets lost. The public-facing website also has gone downhill and comes off as a spammy ad platform. Trying to find the right person to contact within the web of Forbes is very convoluted, especially if you're trying to reach someone in a different Forbes entity.
