Clueless management but smart workers

Pros

It's old school enough that you can have a typical 9-5 worklife. Good benefits.

Cons

Senior management is completely clueless & out of touch as to how to develop these brands, particularly Billboard. I cannot understand how this company stays in business. They are constantly changing senior staff, have no direct communication with employees (I think the CEO started a Friday newsletter which only solidified her complete lack of understanding of her people and their challenges. The attempted at cheerleading failed. The senior management never held a company meeting. Kept morale low and depressing. Didn't seem to care about the people. In general, no real guidance or direction.

Incompetence rises to the top

Pros

Lots of freedom editorially - but to a fault.

Cons

If you're applying to work at Billboard, make sure you're a white straight man. They may tout a Women in Music event every year, but they consisently promote and hire straight, white men to editorial positions above qualified, hardworking women and minorities. There's been an exodus of female editors after the latest round of reshuffling. Editorial direction is also lacking; everyone works in their own world with little communication.

Pros

Billboard & the Hollywood Reporter are amazing brands. The edit/photo/video teams have a lot of heart. HR strives to create morale-boosting activities. Some wonderful intelligent people here.

Cons

Sales is set up like Lord of the Flies. Budgetary and staffing decisions feel amateurish and not in the best interest of the people actually getting the work done, rather in the self-interest of the management. Chaotic, no method to the madness, always feels like a company being primed for a sale.
