      Pros

      Good product, respectable reputation as a media property

      Cons

      Mgmt... from a podium: "We don't hire a-holes and won't put up drama." Mgmt... in reality: "We promote a-holes and strive for drama - and we aren't going to listen to you - but hey, we'll act like we will." Leadership says one thing and does the opposite. For all the corporate talk about how their people are their greatest asset, they don't listen to anyone's opinions but their own. Narcissism trading on previous successes - at it's finest.

      A great place to work

      Pros

      It's the least toxic newsroom I've ever worked in (which isn't saying much) BUT my colleagues genuinely care about me and vice versa. Leadership is pretty transparent and regularly communicates with staff, even when it's hard. I've been given room to grow and learn, and I've seen similar opportunities arise for others.

      Cons

      There have been some growing pains as the company leaves its start-up era.
