Pros

I formed strong connections with a few people who, like me, have been mentally damaged by their experiences at Internews

Cons

I wish I could express my experience at Internews in a more nuanced way, but the reality is summed up in one word: run. My time with the organization has been deeply distressing, and the mental and emotional toll is beyond measure. The negative reviews you've come across are not exaggerations. The company's culture—or lack thereof—is overwhelmingly toxic. There is a pervasive atmosphere of abuse of power and a blatant disregard for respect and diverse opinions. If your perspective differs from the dominant few in leadership, you might find yourself out the door within 24 hours, often without warning or explanation. The People & Culture department is particularly problematic. The focus seems less on employee well-being and more on finding ways to legally terminate staff. If you're considering applying to Internews, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. The risks to your mental health and professional confidence are not worth it.
