Pros

My coworkers are among the brightest, most thoughtful people with whom I've had the good fortune to work. NPR holds a unique position in the media landscape and most of its people are really dedicated to creating the best possible product. It is really great to work in an environment where you feel like you are contributing something to make the world a better informed place. Although it can't be said of all areas of the company, my group has a good work-life balance. I look forward to go to work each day. You can't ask for more than that!

Cons

Communication, between divisions and between upper management and the rest of us, needs improvement.

Pros

I was fully remote, learned so much from a great group of peers, the union is strong and active, pay was fair

Cons

The federal funding saga put a damper on morale, but that was pretty outside of the scope of what my team/manager could control.

Pros

tiny desks happen at work

Cons

soulless and corporate, management is all-powerful, benefits are slowly disappearing, few career prospects unless you fit a certain "profile"
