Pros

I recently started at IBT Media and am happy that I did. The company is really ambitious and it's clear that they are building up their team and growing into a larger, very serious media company. There are tons of job postings and all of the teams - from tech, to ad sales, to the newsrooms, are growing. The staff is hard working and incredibly smart. Everyone's friendly as well. They have bagels on Wednesday mornings which people get excited about.

Cons

Because it's a younger company, they don't have certain programs/employee benefits in place yet, like a 401k. However, they are working to add those items in. Since I've started there has been mention of 401k plans starting, they got set up with an ADP portal that makes requesting days off and tracking pay days super easy and straightforward.

Pros

Since I've been here for a while, my POV may be much different than someone who just started. I find there's a lot of freedom for people who have been here a while, especially on my vertical - I know other verticals don't have it as easy even if they've been working here a while. But its not that hard to learn the loopholes of the place and make them work to your benefit. It's pretty easy to work from home and a lot of people abuse it with no consequences.

Cons

If you're not white or male, over 30 or don't have an Ivy League pedigree you're going to get treated like crap. When I started this place was somewhat diverse, but now the majority of the editors are old white men and there are barely even any reporters of color or culture. There is no growth opportunities - in fact, most of the young editors have been demoted and pushed out.
