Hi and thank you for your feedback. Glad to hear that you had a good experience working as a writer at the Los Angeles Times. If you have any additional feedback on your experience with senior managers that you did not have an opportunity to share before you left the company, we encourage you to reach out to an HR representative directly if you'd like to discuss specific details that might be helpful for both the leadership team and the staff going forward.

Pros

The management was supportive and responsive. I never had any issues.

It is a far commute for those who are remote and need to work in the office.

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.
