Pros
If you were going to work for them five years ago, I’d say go for it. Don’t believe what you’ve heard, but that’s changed….
Cons
The interview process is strange. You have to fill out a list of three references. Those references are sent a survey to take regarding what it’s like to work with you and it’s weighted, weirdly. Normally, I’m all for being honest, but unless these people are going to straight up lie in order to give you a perfect review, any flaw in what they say about you, if it’s in the right section (or rather than the wrong one) is going to get elevated to a level within the corporate machine that simply does not care about anything but the data. There’s also a chance that even if you do get hired, they could come in and fire essentially the entire staff one day. Yes, this happened. I’m not sure what Sinclair‘s actual mission is right now, but they seem to be confused about it themselves. One day they fired the entire staff at the station. The next they come back and they buy a second station in that same town. Overall, I would say their company is too big to fail but right now it seems too large to succeed. I would stay far far away. They don’t know what they want and that comes right down to staffing choices and in my case, they wasted large amounts of my time.
