From 'paper of record' to just another tech company

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-smart colleagues -vibrant slack community -truly top-notch reporting -access to the historically privileged catalog of NYT resources

Cons

Vision: Leadership has deviated from NYT's stated mission of 'helping people understand the world' to 'keeping as many eyes on the app as possible.' This dogma doesn't take long to trickle down with the help of the Sulzberger inner circle working in various parts of the organization. Operations: While many upper managers/department preach the buzzy maxims of a work-life balance, self health, progressive values, etc etc, the walk is not walked. Unhealthy behaviors are rewarded. People (women; usually women of color) are underpaid and strung out beyond belief. Communication is a nightmare. Official org structures are rarely honored. Interpersonal politics are dumb and dirty.

Good place to work, but not fully "tech-focused"

Business Outlook

Pros

- Work with good, passionate people - People care about the product they put out - Sense of camaraderie about the work being done - If you know who to go to with ideas and a plan, it's possible that you can make it happen

Cons

- Changes in management and scope led to long-term goals being neglected or changed - Shortcuts made in the name of getting a fix out faster or a goal done sooner leads to a lot of unmanaged tech debt - Immediate newsroom needs or pivots take 100% priority over any long-term tech strategy, leading to delayed or abandoned projects

Pros

It's a union shop so it's secure.

Cons

Most of the management is non-union and will discriminate against workers advocating for our union efforts.
