Pros

I was surrounded by smart and fun colleagues. I got to read and learn about interesting things and events every day, and help readers better understand the world around them.

Cons

Leadership was opaque at times. It was hard to get to know people outside of working hours or just to get to know them to move around the company, so I stayed in the same position longer than I ever had at any company. Opportunities abound, but office politics abounded, too. When I applied for another position, for example, I was told, "They don't know you." It was like a Catch-22.

Pros

Challenging and rewarding work. You'll work in an environment that publishes the news everyday, if you are excited about helping people learn more about the world, you'll love it here. Good benefits, hybrid work, and really smart coworkers.

Cons

Does not pay like big tech but as an IC you'll be part of union with job protections
