Pros

Some great people, great location, it was great being part of the #1 digital food site in the world. Or at least they were when I left.

Cons

Parent company is/was a disaster. Clueless when it comes to true digital. Pretty much the only way to get a pay raise is to get a promotion but even then there's a cap.

Lots to like; corporate culture is a challenge

Pros

Great brand. Many folks are really talented smart people who want to do great work, enjoy team-work. Very fun tech challenges. Incredible scale - you're building services for millions of users across the world. Cool, right? Nice bright office right downtown - bus service is great; parking's expensive. Start-up quality perks: Beer, ping-pong, seltzer, apples, parties.

Cons

I am not one of the many who complained when Allrecipes was bought by Meredith corporation a few years ago. Change happens; stop looking back, you'll just trip on something. Unfortunately, the corporate culture and processes are putting big strain on the team and their ability to move quickly and be empowered. Corporate decisions are made without full information, impacting product and the ability to hire and advance people. Financial dictates force short-term thinking. Good-old-boy politics abound.

Pros

Love the Seattle office. The people are great and a fun product.

Cons

Meredith CEO and Exec Management are part of the good old boys network, more concerned about bonus & dividend than delivering a good product.
