Pros

Re the business side: Very smart people are drawn to the Times for its mission, reputation and -- lately --emergence as a legitimate innovator in publishing and digital media.

Cons

Re the business side: Poor process, low comp relative to industry standards. They say there's a Times discount: people will join and stay for relatively less salary because of its mission and reputation. It's also recovering from a period of near financial death, so is under resourced in key management and operations functions.
