Pros
Very smart, dedicated coworkers. Excellent benefits, great PTO from day 1. Great office location, easily accessible from anywhere in the city.
Cons
Growing pains because of evolution of the traditional news business; they’ve got a smart team but are not keen to let them innovate. Many experienced and talented people have left in the past 2 years because of the clicqueyness and favoritism of middle managers. Promotions are handed out in the same manner, so some who have been with the company a long time but can’t manage themselves out of a paper bag are now people managers and it has spurred along the higher turnover rates. HR managers are lackadaisical and unprofessional; that’s probably what chases away the external hires, because only the lifers are sticking around at this point.
