Pros

Reaching a broad readership. Getting to know how one of the great newspapers actually works. Enjoying a minor prestige among outsiders.

Cons

Working in distressed industries is not fun, and journalism is a wreck. The NYT doesn't have a clear plan to remain profitable, so it announces new layoffs every year. Revenue from print ads is falling with circulation; revenue from online ads is not rising fast enough. That means salaries are capped and pensions are cut, at least for non-managers.

Pros

Challenging and rewarding work. You'll work in an environment that publishes the news everyday, if you are excited about helping people learn more about the world, you'll love it here. Good benefits, hybrid work, and really smart coworkers.

Cons

Does not pay like big tech but as an IC you'll be part of union with job protections
