Great company, mediocre management

Pros

Overall company has a great foundation and values which will allow for longevity. Higher management sees that innovation is a necessity hence the push towards more diversification of media forms. Precovid great office space and location wasn’t too bad either (convenient by all subways).

Cons

Low pay and no clear paths for growth in advertising. The ones on the bottom are holding the weight for the those above them. Onboarding process for the actual role is close to nonexistent. Typical office politics - those who do get promoted are often mediocre or because they threatened to quit. Salary raises are either minimal and not reflective of the competitive market. My advice: get the name for your resume and get better pay elsewhere. For those who want to get by on doing the bare minimum, you’ll do great because others will hold your load for you and the brand sells itself. If you’re naturally looking to push and challenge yourself, look elsewhere. No one will advocate for you so you’re on your own.

Pros

The company is great to work and they spend lot of money for the software-cloud based environments and try to keep in par with latest technologies. All new out-of-the-box platform and great opportunity to expose ourself to latest technology. One should not worry to find any job anywhere after working in NYT because of the brand name and updated skill sets.

Cons

Having said great about NYT, I will have to make complete U turn on the management strategy followed and the skills the manager have to manage profession candidates here. I would rate it as -1 in our team as my manager always attacks on our weakness and thinking that its best strategy to get the work done. He doesn't realize how it impacts the employees confidence, health and motivation. We are professionals and if we are picked by NYT we should be good and capable of getting stuff done based on our capacity and all the professional need guidance, support, tools and motivation. The manager I worked with seems very in-secured, immature, and have no respect to you as individual and your skillset. He would attack you on all fronts in 1-1 that you lack which he keeps monitoring throughout the day and make you feel miserable and unfit for the job. I have seen few members of my team quitting due to health issue as they could not cope up with this stress and un healthy environment. I did quit solely for this hot-tempered, dual personality, in-secured mentality manager who acts crazy at 1-1 by chewing up your brains off and wants your apology for anything that he didn't like as it was kindergarten style. I finally realized I was done with this manager and I quit. I pity the other team members going through the same situation and I tried to make it better but talking to upper management and with HR. I don't believe they have taken it seriously until they get sued.

Pros

the name. great name to align yourself with.

Cons

no job security and pay is not great. morale is low. people cry in the bathrooms. its a very sad place to be in the year 2014. what used to be a diverse corporation has now turned into a cookie cutter environment. Where's the diversity now? You won't find it.
