Pros

Good benefits as a lot of vacations and matching 401K. Fair salaries if you are able to negotiate. Great people.

Cons

New management for the greater Al Jazeera Digital is plain awful. They are bullying employees and giving bad performance reviews when even they have never worked with you before. New management is trying to put former managers and senior staff out of the organization chart, replacing them with friends and allies. Good and competent employees are quitting as soon as they can. Most of the team will leave before the end of the year due the clueless and abusive management. I can’t recommend anybody to work for any Al Jazeera organization in US unless you are a masochist, don’t care about your career and you really need the money.

Pros

Great colleagues, relatively diverse newsroom, compared to other media companies, and the ability to tell powerful and important stories on a wide range of global issues.

Cons

Management was often lacking competence, leadership or both. One male colleague failed up repeatedly — like, got promotions after complaints were filed against him. This happened two or three times and was demoralizing and toxic.
