Pros

Management is open and honest; very transparent about the business challenges, goals and strategies; everyone works together as a team; very few, if any, prima donnas on staff (rare for a media company). Communication is extraordinary. Hiring process is thorough, with an emphasis on cultural fit, which only enhances the teamwork.

Cons

We work hard at Axios; the roll-up-our-sleeves culture means we often put in extra hours. The pay and benefits are good, not great (no 401K match, for ex), but stock options are a potential offset.
