Pros

Great mission and good people. On the right team, it can be a great place to work.

Cons

Legacy thinking and risk aversion makes change slow and difficult. Yearly layoffs without warning mean no real job security. Legacy news outlets in general are having a tough time competing in the US, which adds another level of stress from company leaders.

Pros

I learned so much about digital marketing and media while there including about display ads, paid search, paid social, and content marketing. They are a super casual and friendly company, but very hardworking and dedicated to growing.

Cons

The company is remote so it was a bit harder to fully connect with my coworkers and clients. It was a good challenge to think of ways to put myself out there more though.
