      Pros

      Looks great on the résumé and it introduced me to a lot of new technologies my previous job did not. Also met some great people.

      Cons

      The department is mostly lifers and are rotten people that take advantage the balkanized hierarchy. The boss is not interested in developing talent because there's no room to grow and the slackers are protected by the union.

      Pros

      The company is filled with great people who are all very smart. It can be a great place to start projects and collaborate with the best in the business.

      Cons

      Hierarchy is sometimes unclear, and what makes it possible to find opportunities can also make it difficult to get things done. Managers at the company definitely play favorites and don't have much loyalty to employees. Frequent rounds of lay offs.

      Pros

      Location wise: it is in the middle of the city, and that's about it. Hopefully ill be able to say that I'm from NYTimes in my next job interview and get a salary hike, because at this point thats all this company is wort.

      Cons

      Horrible Management from the ground up. The Manager that i have to work with for my team is absolutely non professional, he curses screams and shouts any time things get critical. He Assigns un realistic deadlines. I believe this manager has a personality disorder. He has lost countless more than 10 DBAs in less than 2 years so far. Both MYSQL , ORACLE and MSSQL DBAs across the board. He is not a team player and scapegoats his employees for his shortcomings. I am stuck here until my Visa clears and there ill be out of here as soon as possible. Salary is below average here as well for the amount of man hours we all put in. When it comes to technology, NYTimes uses the cheapest solutions that cant handle the I/O operations that is required for an optimally performing database. As a DBA accepting this position has been by far the worst mistake in my career.
