Pros

None that I can even think of, even if I were asleep.

Cons

Let's call it what it is. It was a Sieg heil! Newsweek is so scared of any backlash that they'll be sheep. They should be scared, because no subscribers will stand by their reporting. Not even their own employees if that says anything. It's just a matter of time that their Newsweek offices get raided yet again. No wonder they're embraced remote work and AI, can't find blame too easily now huh. Move on!

Pros

Almost none, a depressing place to work but some workmates are nice

Cons

Like working in a sausage factory in which you suffer low pay, demoralization and editors with little journalism experience. No chance to progress. You are expected to deliver four stories a day that include photograph, video, 3 html links, url, word search etc etc and they just pile on the work, with HR never granting days off until they are sure it doesn't clash with US. Everyone comes out depressed.
