      Great mission-driven company with thoughtful product culture

      CEO approval

      Pros

      The work genuinely feels meaningful — you’re improving how people stay informed. Strong focus on subscriber engagement, retention, and long-term value instead of short-term metrics. Product teams are collaborative and very data-driven. Great cross-functional culture — PM, Engineering, Design, and Analytics work closely. High standard for product quality and experimentation. Hybrid schedule is reasonable; work-life balance is solid.

      Cons

      Decision-making can be slow because quality and alignment matter a lot. Lots of stakeholders across editorial, product, and growth — requires strong communication. Legacy systems in some areas mean technical debt can slow down experiments. Promotions can take time due to structured process.

      Performative DEI Culture

      Staff editor

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You get to impress people by telling them who you work for.

      Cons

      The company declares a mission towards fairness and objectivity but plays favorites and creates a crony culture for advancement. There is no understanding of what diversity and equity means as a whole and subscribe to the motto of “without fear or favor” when it comes to everyone but their own. The gray lady is so long in the tooth it makes and elephants tusk look like an infants first tooth. And you will be teething your entire time there. Their concept of objectivity is archaic and dangerous for the era we live in and it makes the fourth estate as impotent as the others have proven to be. If democracy dies in darkness, an informed public dies from cowardice.

      Rough Times

      Project management office (pmo)
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great people, the smartest I have ever had the privilege of working beside. Fantastic products, fun environment for many (not all).

      Cons

      Strong desire to centralize power, now that there is a tech union. There is tremendous fear and confusion among middle- managers during this transition to tighter command and control, and seemingly endless consternation between management and the union bargaining committee.
