Aging Broadcast Company Trying to Look Cool in a Hoodie and Sunglasses

Pros

Pay was enough to keep me this long (I tried many times to leave, but many companies just flat out suck at the competitive pay game or they are willing to take the next chump off the street who will accept their low low pay). I refuse to lower my standards when the high end tech companies are almost twice what Sinclair even offers. Sinclair is only slightly higher than companies like Nordstrom. You could do worse. Very stable work, but prepare to be bored with the products they are making. Most of the people that I worked with used to be cool, now I have no idea who these people are.

Cons

Shifting to hiring lots of international workers (timezone hell). Wishy washy about return to office plan (post-covid) despite hiring all over the place. Extremely difficult to get raises and promotions (slow like molasses). Red tape and not a lot of creative freedom (top-down decisions). Backend system design is purely a joke held together by duct-tape and huge egos of past and present loud mouth bullies with fancy titles and large paychecks (so called "architects"). Lately, good people seem to be leaving on a weekly basis (sad). Very bored in my position, no room for growth. Only 6-8 paid holidays per year (aging news business). Before COVID, they almost never allowed remote work. Most people probably dislike their political bias (includes myself in that group). Ashamed to say I work for them at parties (favors "large news company" to save face).

Pros

Good money and good benefits.

Cons

The product you’re selling isn’t the best. Upper management isn’t always professional. Product you’re selling is underwhelming and constantly under delivers.
