Pros

It is extremely sad to see how far this place is come. But I will say that this place is some of the best and most hard-working people, the benefits are pretty good, and Axios itself has a great name. But the culture itself has definitely taken a dip

Cons

Poor people and management decisions after cox deal. Complete change in culture. No more transparency. Pretend to care about people but that has greatly changed
