WHY WE WORK HERE

"I've worked at 10 different corporations, from small to huge, and Meredith stands out for its openness. Discussion is encouraged—anyone can ask the CEO any question—and new ideas are welcome. Based in New York and Des Moines, Meredith has the best of both worlds: corporate sophistication and intense ambition, and grounded, people-centered values."
—Kitty Morgan, executive editor, Better Homes and Gardens

"What I enjoy most about working at Meredith is the freedom to be creative and think on my own. I began working at Meredith three years ago as a group assistant and was quickly promoted to interactive marketing manager. Meredith gives me the ability to grow my career and knowledge of the industry with the help of dedicated, talented professionals. I work with a group of intelligent and creative individuals that I am happy to call my friends."
—Katie Kornstein, marketing manager, Meredith Interactive

"After 10 years with the company, I have not only found a career at Meredith but I've found a home. I know that Meredith is committed to providing me with a happy, healthy and well-balanced work environment, and it is for this reason that I am committed to Meredith. It's a place where the hard workers work even harder, not because they have to but because they want to. And also just being part of a company that is rapidly evolving in the new media landscape is very, very exciting."
—Sabrina Evans, executive director-marketing
