NY Times tech division should work on improving how the brand is viewed in the tech community. Sometimes it feels that good work of the times is not recognized.

Troubled Sales Management

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Clearly a great brand, career advancing name recognition

Cons

sales management (particularly in the fashion & retail categories) seem completely out of touch with industry & digital trends. A sense that sales management team has only worked in print media for decades without any real digital experience. Few-to-no respected client or agency relationships relying on account management team to do very senior heavy lifting on their behalf. Mean-spirited and highly political environment that's driven by fear of significant ad revenue losses quarter-over-quarter.
