      Pros

      -Building is state of the art and comes with many perks and benefits. -CEO is innovative, open minded and cares for employees. -Interesting people, work and conversations.

      Cons

      - Some older VPs have no communication ability when it comes to working with colleagues from younger generations. -Dramatic politics with hidden agendas that will ultimately deplete all working relationships with public tv counterparts and loyal donors. -Fishy use of staff and money for personal management interest that is bound to become exposed. Select top few leaders with ethics problems that will be exposed.

      Smart, nice, mission-oriented people

      Pros

      People here really believe in the mission to create a better informed public through solid unbiased journalism. They take tech seriously. Information is shared pretty freely, and leadership both shares a lot of information (our exact bottom line, etc.) and really wants feedback. They're very open to remote work and flexible time.

      Cons

      It feels like a smaller organization in some ways, which is both good and bad. It's bad in the sense that we're constantly aware of budgetary constraints. This might just be because they had had a few straight years of running a deficit right before I got here.
