Pros

Good salary & benefits Mostly great people, except for a tiny minority Interesting work overall Occasionally get to feel I've made a positive impact on the world

Cons

Talented people get stuck in dead-ends, very siloed environment, difficult to switch tracks/learn new things, one Exec even said to my face I shouldn't expect support for a promotion/move bc I'm too good at what I'm currently doing. In the rare case of severe personnel disputes, management seems very reluctant to get involved even when it's obvious someone is being victimized. Oh, have I seen people get away with things.

Salary is competitive, better than most media outlets in the southern U.S. Benefits and time off are competitive.

Frequent layoffs and top-down old school management.
