Forbes Employee Reviews about "senior management"

Pros

It's Forbes. It's a nice name brand to have on your resume. The content management system is awesome. It's fun to set your own hours and get paid based on traffic.

Cons

Management is routinely arrogant, curt, mean, cruel, dis-empowering, and cheap. They tell you to not go for link-bait, then they reward link-bait. Certain editors get a free pass on the rules. Their contributor content model is a sham. It's compromised by advertisers. Church and state are one. Here's my advice to management (which I am also sharing here): Expand your coverage outside of your NYC, Silicon Valley bubble. Focus on good, decent, humble, hard-working entrepreneurs and CEOs in the Heartland. Your bias towards coastal elites makes this an imbalanced read. Hire people who are unlike you, think differently than you, who are kind, considerate, humble, decent, who prize customer service, generosity of spirit and good-natured treatment of others. Ditch the arrogant, tech-obsessed snobs and robots.

Pros

Opportunities to advance for those who are intelligent and ambitious. High turnover creates openings for those who are aggressive and opportunistic

Cons

High turnover limits institutional knowledge and the ability to learn best practices. Middle-management talent is severely limited making it difficult for young employees to really learn anything of value.

Pros

You have to be strategic. Align yourself with ppl who hold power here and you’ll be fine.

Cons

Editorial upper management is bureaucratic. Pay is horrendous. Benefits are poor compared to every other biz media outleg

Pros

Cons

Pros

Cons

Frequent restructures and a distant management team

Pros

The name looks good on your resume. Fun atmosphere and many nice, smart, motivated and hard-working people to learn from.

Cons

Management is unorganized and cliquey. As a result, the workload is unorganized and overbearing. Couple that with ridiculously low pay and office politics.

Pros

People at Forbes were really helpful and the work culture is really laid back.

Cons

Senior management could be more friendlier

Pros

When I tell people I work at Forbes, they know the name. They have heard of the brand. In the business community, people respect the company that has been around for so long. Also, I appreciate the fact that hours are flexible and that I can balance work life with home life pretty well. The job is self-directed, which I like.

Cons

Unfortunately, the company seems headed off a cliff. Management didn't have a good web strategy and changed its strategy several times. Now, at a time when I believe readers would like to turn to trusted news sources, senior management has decided to take a gamble and add to the noise in the industry. So I am not confident in the company's future. It doesn't help that it does not appear to be giving raises and hasn't for several years.
