Pros

the editors are very nice, however.

Cons

Company has turned into mainly contract roles -- no way one can live off the pay from this firm..... a bit funny because on one hand the company is feeding the capitalist class' propaganda but within its own company markets are eating its employees alive. Also, if your'e looking to publish whatever one wants --- don't think about it because Forbes caters to corporate interests more than any other NY publication. not a good place if one wants to be an impactful media figure at all.

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.
