      Pros

      While this company is struggling with continued transformation, it is open to trying new things. It is a very stable company that gives you the flexibility to succeed. People stay for a very long time, and ultimately the company is in a good position in the industry.

      Cons

      As many big companies, there is a lot of bureaucracy. There is also no longer term strategy than past this year. And things get spun up, take all our energy, and rarely see the light of day.

      AP is not the place it used to be.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      AP is globally known, so there is a lot of prestige and recognition on the outside. Industry-wide, the salaries are excellent unless you live in a major city such as New York. The benefits are excellent and to a certain extent make up for the salaries. You're probably best off living somewhere else.

      Cons

      Long hours and overnights. Also, the instability of the news media and recent layoffs make it a less pleasant place to work.

      Great reputation, issues with middle management

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Prestigious brand, and an excellent journalistic talent, as well as a basketball court and a full gym in the office.

      Cons

      There are some gaps in management quality in the middle management area of the AP, and there are many questions about its economic health.
