      Pros

      Fantastic, encouraging place to work, full of ambition and commitment to telling stories that matter to readers. As one of the best news organizations in the world, you should absolutely take any chance you can to work here.

      Cons

      Like a lot of large companies, it can be a lot about who you know and which top bosses support your career. I was lucky to have strong mentors, but I saw other great reporters fall through the cracks because they weren't as social with editors.

      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.
