Pros

It's the NYT. It looks great on a resume, and the compensation and benefits were fantastic (at least for me at that point in my life). I learned a fair amount while I was there, and it's great to be a part of a historic company and work with smart people. I really liked my co-workers.

Cons

There wasn't a lot of opportunity for upward mobility. The leadership is aloof and rigid, in many ways. It felt like creativity was reserved for the superstars, and the rest of us had to go by the book. That's boring and not a good talent-retention strategy.

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
