Pros

High standards, ambitious goals, plenty of resources and a sense of momentum (which is very rare in journalism). Some extremely talented writers and editors, who occasionally are unleashed to do their best work. Pay is good for journalism.

Cons

Crippling bureaucracy, management by fear and intimidation, a cover-your-ass mentality (which leads to busy work assigned "just in case"), mercurial leaders who won't accept questions or dissent and shifting goal posts for what constitutes success.
