Pros

People care about their job and employees tend to be friendly and collaborative. While the pay is low for PM jobs, its not terrible and the benefits are pretty good (5 months of parental leave, etc).

Cons

More so than most PM roles, there is an assumption at NYT that PMs will write jira tickets/get super involved in the details (at other companies - engineers would do this) which can squeeze your time for strategy, etc. Also, in general editorial is king here. Finally, they sometimes do layoffs and have a not-great approach when it happens (~4 weeks of pay- 12 is common in tech and media and lots of big tech companies have ~6 months).

Pros

Challenging and rewarding work. You'll work in an environment that publishes the news everyday, if you are excited about helping people learn more about the world, you'll love it here. Good benefits, hybrid work, and really smart coworkers.

Cons

Does not pay like big tech but as an IC you'll be part of union with job protections
