Pros

-Many co-workers are good people both inside and outside of the office.

Cons

-Underwhelming pay. -Decentralized structure is a huge weak point because too many managers are focused on how they're getting along with other team leaders vs. focusing on clients' needs. -Too many "lifers" are still present, which means cliques, stale ideas and fresh talent not taken seriously enough. (This goes for those within the marketing/sales, editorial and HR divisions.) -Too many internal projects deemed as "favors" for other teams take away from workers' ability to focus solely on client needs. -Not enough focus on fresh perspectives and smart usage of new media, which means IDG has lost out to many other publishers and agencies.
