Vacation policy was a little skimpy at the start

Pros

Pros

- Brave, radical ideas around making money by harnessing a network of free / low-cost content from contributors - Extremely smart editors and journalists - Storied and talented team of people valuing billionaires

Once the economy collapsed, senior management had a really tough time figuring out what to do - almost to the point that it was scary they were in charge. Led to a volatile environment where employees were pressed with crazy goals and little to no support to achieve them.

Cons

Job was often defined by the legacy of the company rather than compensation.
