      Pros

      Cool creative opportunities, nice coworkers, fun, nerd prom culture and Tiny Desk Concerts make this place a nice place to work.

      Cons

      Very hierarchical, and boys club culture makes it hard to get promoted, especially if you come from outside journalism (like technology, starts ups or otherwise). Diversity in leadership is practically nonexistent.

      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"
