Pros

Awesome engineering team. No BS. Good benefits, great people. Great work-life balance.

Cons

The tech leadership team, while fair and meaning well, often is too deep into the details of actual coding and building of the systems, leaving less room for the individual contributors on the team to develop. This is not a big complaint though. Overall, this is an excellent place to work as an engineer, with supportive peers and people that care about each other.

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.
