Pros

Close, tight-knit community; plenty of events/celebrations to keep things interesting, recognizable brand name, great location (DC's Chinatown); friendly, helpful staff; very relaxed work environment

Cons

Not too many cons, there has been a lot of shift among senior leadership within NPR, so I think that the organization is still trying to recover. For entry-level jobseekers, there is not a lot of potential for promotion/temp work, etc.

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"
