      Pros

      One of the best news brands out there. Most innovative news company in terms of technology enablement. The people who work here are amazing colleagues.

      Cons

      Comp plan for sales is below par. Newer employees being brought in are paid better, I left because they changed the comp plan and lowballed my base salary while assigning unrealistic growth goals. Wasn't going to toil with low pay to make Jeff Bezos richer. Benefits aren't great either. Not a ton of career growth opportunity compared to larger media companies.

      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.
