Pros

Conde Nast India: Industry first in adopting new platforms and technology in the publishing world. Pivoted to digital media, marketing and content years before competitors. Big budget for video content, award shows, and a solid reputation in the luxury brands circle.

Cons

Conde Nast India: Where to begin? The work environment is highly toxic, political, discriminatory, and is run by the elite South Bombay residents. No timely appraisals or systematic review process. Most of us end up taking paycuts while joining and are asked to wait for a couple of years until salaries are hiked. There's a practice of Editors yelling/using unprofessional language, being derogatory and demeaning to junior writers, and bartering off-the-book favours in exchange for editorial coverage. It's an elitist company and attrition rates are high.
