Thank you for providing feedback on your experience working for the Los Angeles Times. We appreciate your insight and will share it with senior managers as improving the employee experience is of great importance to us. We are glad to hear you enjoyed working with your colleagues here and believed in the product and mission of the company.
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.
