      Pros

      - You're constantly pushed to produce the best work - Everything you do is rewarding - With the landscape of journalism always changing, there's always space to grow - Work with some of the smartest, most creative people in the world

      Cons

      - Rather difficult to move up in ranks unless a) you're a white man or b) you know someone higher up - lack of diversity within management - no set streamline to groom the forthcoming generation(s) of journalists beside internship program - long hours (to be expected) - advocating for higher pay is a *long* process and may not result in anything

      Pros

      Supporting journalism is the one good thing.

      Cons

      The culture needs improvement, with a strict in-office policy that may not work well for everyone. There also seems to be ongoing challenges with employee retention, which can impact team morale, consistency, and long-term stability. The tech guild and unions made me feel really uncomfortable with coworkers protesting outside the office.
