Pros
Brand recognition Cool swag Some people are great to work with Tiny desk concerts
Cons
Senior leadership (leads, directors, senior directors and above) are clueless and don’t know it /think they’re innovative Lack of diversity of thought at the top Antiquated technology, product teams are like glorified project managers who rely on “past glory days” Lack of ownership within engineering team You’d think you’re coming into a progressive environment that supports diversity. NPR DOES NOT SUPPORT any such notion. They’re pretending to try. But they truly need five more Whitney Maddoxes, 3 years of dedicated workshops, and a full restaff (including new hires who seem to have only been hired to fill a diversity quota) / reorg to make them competitive, to fix bias, to solve lack of direction.
