      Horrible Management, Abhorrent Office Politics

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Networking across is fun and easy, young staff are often looking out for each other, looks good on your resume

      Cons

      Upper management & directorate determined to undermine staff and middle managers, culture of micromanaging, little to no upward mobility, extremely passive aggressive office culture, the DEI office is for aesthetic not actually helpful (despite their best efforts, not really their fault) and their office/team is often undermined by HR, if you work in the journalism department find a backup job because the second the economy takes a turn you’re the first to go.
