Business Outlook

Pros

Reputed brand, world class journalism and one of the best sales team in the business

Cons

With so much churning going on lately, you have to think, act and work like a shark, be at the top of things, in business and with the constantly changing nature of the department. While being on top of the business is the need of the hour being constantly on the guard to protect your job erodes a lot of energy which should go into thinking creatively and strategically to grow your business and develop relationships in the marketplace

Pros

The best newspaper in the U.S. hands down.

Cons

Different rules for the business side and news side. That said the media space is a challenging place to work given the change in media buying and revenue.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place to work if you're a journalist. One of the few places left that has the time and energy to dig into stories others can't get to. Developing some seriously strong interactive/multimedia muscles as well.

Cons

Tech development is mismanaged and constantly bottlenecked. Company is chronically slow to make decisions, culture of too many people involved in too many meetings is unabated. Overall business strategy seems clearer and more promising since Mark Thompson came in as CEO but changes in the marketplace may overwhelm any possible strategy.
