Pros

- Reallocation always comes first, before layoffs. - It's a company that experiments a lot, so they are always promoting hackathons and incubating new products. - At least on the engineering side, work-and-life balance is great. - In general, senior management cares about properly describing projects and are always there to help - There is no micromanagement, only proper follow-up/progress checking. - Benefits can be good, especially if you are based in D.C. (there are many things to choose from). - You get to meet intelligent, smart, and kind people. It's a large company w/ many departments. At least on the tech side, it does not seem to be a toxic environment.

Cons

- Projects you are involved in can shift a lot, so you might feel like you are starting all over a few times or having to reset and develop new processes frequently. - Health Insurance could be a bit better. - If you are based in DC, remote work might not be so flexible.

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.
