Pros

There are opportunities to work on teams and projects that are doing cool and interesting things. The company also has good name recognition and has a real impact in the world.

Cons

1.) Pay is definitely on the lower end compared to what you can get elsewhere. 2.) Lots of legacy systems that aren't well maintained. 3.) The tech union takes up way too much air. It's largely filled with oversensitive people with petty grievances. As tech employees we're treated with kid gloves compared to the rest of the company, but the union would have you believing we're oppressed.

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
