Pros

Very good benefits; competitive salary; high-quality products. 401k plan in particular is a standout among media companies. Perks include on-site gym, cafeteria.

Cons

No raises; constant corporate turmoil at parent company. Strategic focus shifted too often. Too little investment to keep core products at top of the market.

Pros

Good focus on long-form writing and journalism; lots of lovely people worked here and there was a nice community outside of the office; felt like a legit civic institution that people in L.A. care about.

Cons

Uneven management with unclear long-term priorities and conflicting top-down mandates. Not very willing to collaborate with the union.
