Pros

Still a great showcase for good talent, despite dwindling circulation and unfocused online presence. If you've got the skills, you can still shine.

Cons

Was once an elite news organization. With continued layoffs and legendary bad management in editorial, it is barely hanging on editorially. People are fleeing constantly, especially women. Editorial bosses known for treating women over 50 badly.

Pros

Good focus on long-form writing and journalism; lots of lovely people worked here and there was a nice community outside of the office; felt like a legit civic institution that people in L.A. care about.

Cons

Uneven management with unclear long-term priorities and conflicting top-down mandates. Not very willing to collaborate with the union.
