Pros

Excellent salary and name recognition.

Cons

Benefits such as pensions and 401k matches have eroded since the economic downturn. Rampant cronyism and senior managerial incompetence on the print side. Senior print side managers appear to have no leadership and management training at all. They are isolated and have had little or no exposure to other ways of working and are therefore stagnant. Professional development is non-existent. Opportunities for advancement are almost nil. Bezos believes he has nothing to offer to print side because "they are the best people in the industry and know what their doing". He really should think that one again and look a little harder.

Pros

Supporting journalism is the one good thing.

Cons

The culture needs improvement, with a strict in-office policy that may not work well for everyone. There also seems to be ongoing challenges with employee retention, which can impact team morale, consistency, and long-term stability. The tech guild and unions made me feel really uncomfortable with coworkers protesting outside the office.
