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.

Pros

it's the New York Times. There's nothing better.

Cons

It's the New York Times, there's almost nothing better. And your salary never goes up and it's sort of a cult.
