Pros
In many ways, NPR is most professional media outlet in America, with the best coverage of news, events, ideas and arts and cultural content, and the work environment reflects it. Employees are passionate about their work and enthusiastic about coming to work each day, striking an appropriate work-life balance. There are opportunities for career growth--developing skills and experience--for those who are eager to learn and willing to work hard. As with any work: it is what you make of it.
Cons
As with all organizations, bureaucracy can stall things from getting accomplished. If you don't work in content creation (i.e. don't have union advocacy) compensation is less; but there are great benefits.
