Pros

The cafe is nice. And they have a beehive on the rooftop.

Cons

This is an organization on its way out. Upper management is so bereft of talent or competence it's hard to imagine NPR, in its current form, lasting more than a few years. The bizarre cult of personality around one of the executives, the yes men mentality and the constant fear of losing one's job is too much to handle on a daily basis.

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.

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"
