Pros

Great work-life balance for most teams - come in to office by 10 am, coffee break at 11 am, lunch break at 12.30 pm (which goes on for an hour), tea break at 4 pm and leave for home at 5 pm. It's a great place for those who work like this. If you actually want to put in hours of work for your own satisfaction, read on.

Cons

Do 12 to 16 hour workdays as a journalist (which is primarily what a NEWSPAPER requires) and there is no acknowledgement or appreciation - either verbally or monetarily. People who want to remain journalists should stay away, because you will lose all your love for journalism after working here.

Pros

1. Silent work atmosphere. 2. Stable job 3. Clean cab service provided

Cons

1. Those even 1 or 2 designations above you think they have the right to scold you. 2. No matter how much experience you carry, here some seniors think you have done nothing in life and will reedit your entire copy, sometimes to the point of over editing. 3. Resident Editor is least bothered so even the reporters hardly care to put in any effort in their stories. 4. Mismanagement between ad-production team due to which the editors have to suffer. 5. Always clarify what they are exactly looking for, a pagemaker or an editor. There's no use to hold up your expectations because the Delhi office hardly edits or does any good story. All they need is people to make pages which destroys calibre of an editor, especially of someone with enough experience. 6. No annual appraisal
