Pros

Ok salary. very easy access to upper management. You can literally schedule a one-on-one meeting with the VP and discuss anything. Lots of resources to help you learn and upgrade your skill set. I specifically love that we had very generous access to AWS services. I self-taught a lot of AWS services during my stay.

Cons

Some Technical Directors are a bit territorial. It's somewhat difficult to get improvements on some legacy systems because of unjustifiable pushback from Technical Directors that have been on a specific project for a long time.  Salary is also a bit lower compared to the current market.

Pros

Benefits are great and there's always opportunities to learn and grow as a journalist.

Cons

There isn't a lot of management involvement. I RARELY saw my supervisor and when I did, it was quick interactions. It didn't seem like management really cared about the digital side.
