      A complete fraud company

      Pros

      You can have irratic exposure.

      Cons

      No professionalism. No proper channel for communication . The work was no where near the profile mentioned. No clear image about your future perspective. Even in the entire 3 weeks of my work, i was not given a single proof of employment as in I Crad, appointment letter.

      Work here, but be prepared for the abuse.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      They do have an incredible creative cultivation. Their high bar for design as an ambitious brand is a great place for young designers to learn how to create great things under pressure. Raises the level of nonsense you are able to deal with in an office environment. If you read cosmo and fit into that culture, you will most likely enjoy your time working there. It is a great place for a very specific culture of people to thrive.

      Cons

      Abusive supervisors (gas-lighting, verbally abusive, bullying, general cattiness). Managers are hired internally based on how good they are at ingratiating themselves to the Chief Editor and not based on actual experience managing a team or dealing with the skill-sets of said team. There is absolutely no director of operations so almost all of the computers are at least 1-2 years out dated, which can have a huge effect on employees who have to work with incredible speed.

      Like the Devil Wears Prada without any of the glamour

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      You learn a lot about the industry very quickly because you have to to survive. You get to see the inside workings of how a magazine is run.

      Cons

      If you are in a lower level position you are treated terribly. No one acknowledges your work and you will always be the first in last out. 75 hour work weeks are normal. You will be told to just figure it out, and have impossible expectations to meet.
