Pros

A great work/life balance; very smart and nice colleagues; visible upper management that is transparent in communicating; very supportive of working parents, especially during COVID.

Cons

A disappointing lack of POC in leadership positions; fellows are woefully underpaid; editorial leadership severely undervalues younger and early-career workers, preferring to chase after big marquee names; very few avenues for career advancement; although very rare, there are stories of microaggressions and outright abuse towards fellows and young people of color.
