Pros

Extremely driven and humble colleagues at top of field. Flow of top design talent means real ecosystem of design. Good work life balance for the most part. Certainly in comparison to design studios and agencies. Very good salaries and benefits. Mission is humbling.

Cons

Trouble with design talent retention. Big freelance culture in newsroom. Getting hired full time can be very difficult. Lots of internal politics and bureaucracy. Design teams work in silos.

Pros

Great benefits, long parental leave, remote friendly for engineers, exciting to create systems and build products that support journalists and enable engineers to do their best work, beautiful office in the heart of time square, genuinely some of the nicest and smartest people I've ever worked with, free access to all NYTimes products as an employee, on the cutting edge of need tech, and exciting to work at the price of breaking news or important news cycles. Open to internal job shifts and opportunities.

Cons

Even though work has to sometimes move at the fast pace of news, it can be painfully slow to get other important work to be prioritized such as internal DEI efforts or web accessibility, compliance, etc. Despite the pandemic changing the way the world works, The New York Times is not a remote first company so many roles on the business, product, and tech side are not remote friendly. Career advancement and promotion is not a clear and straightforward process.
