Pros

The company is family friendly and a low pressure environment. Never pressure to work nights/weekends. Smart people. Polite atmosphere, no one yells at one another.

Cons

You need to fight for good assignments. I was left with little or nothing to do a lot of the time, which gets demoralizing. Software developers don't have much role in product decision making. Newsroom is where the power resides. Bureaucracy makes decisions and product releases slow, though the company is working to change this.

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
