Pros

* Insight into how news is generated at one of the world's most popular papers * Rub shoulders with news-makers and other minor celebrities * Free books and access to New York City events and institutions * Free access to Premium Crossword Puzzles * Bragging rights (this used to be true, but now people feel sorry for you)

Cons

* Majority of employees are disgruntled and unhappy, making for a poor working environment * Politics outweighs disciplined thought when making decisions * Lack of clear management strategy or goals adds to the difficulty in decision making * Performance is not measured consistently or tied to pay

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
