Pros

- Reallocation always comes first, before layoffs. - It's a company that experiments a lot, so they are always promoting hackathons and incubating new products. - At least on the engineering side, work-and-life balance is great. - In general, senior management cares about properly describing projects and are always there to help - There is no micromanagement, only proper follow-up/progress checking. - Benefits can be good, especially if you are based in D.C. (there are many things to choose from). - You get to meet intelligent, smart, and kind people. It's a large company w/ many departments. At least on the tech side, it does not seem to be a toxic environment.

Cons

- Projects you are involved in can shift a lot, so you might feel like you are starting all over a few times or having to reset and develop new processes frequently. - Health Insurance could be a bit better. - If you are based in DC, remote work might not be so flexible.

Pros

Great technology, great onboarding process and everyone is willing to help including managers

Cons

the 3 days in office is kind of a con right now, given that some jobs can be done completely remote and still be fine. the traffic is a pain and parking cost can add up.

Pros

Great Company culture! Just all around good people and the pay isn’t bad for Media. There is also much collaboration across teams given its size - so room to grow in skill set/experience.

Cons

They want to force people into going into y the office 3x a week. Majority of employees do not want this and they are still choosing to get aggressive with their internal communications
