"IT department was too isolated from other departments"

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"I think the company has a long ways to go to develop a culture that integrates IT with its traditional publishing infrastructure. I.e., I think the company views IT as this black box you put stuff into and get money-making websites out of."

What don't you like about working at Active Interest Media?

"Ultimately, we were pulled in too many directions, and as stated, the it department was too isolated from the rest of the company. I didn't meet the COO before I was notified of the restructuring, and my boss reported to him. It's not like the company had 1000 people. It would've been reasonable and proper for him to, for instance, do a brownbag lunch with us: particularly since his vision was to grow online revenue to 25% of the company's total."
