Pros

The people on the ground that do the work are fantastic to work with. The building is nice The benefits were also alright

Cons

Mgt don't run the show fairly. Love to take credit for the job well done but never give credit to those who deserve it. Yet very quick to shift blame when something goes wrong. Never willing to take responsibility No value for loyalty. Very quick to replace you if you have a fallout with senior team member

Pros

Better pay than a lot of freelance jobs Can choose your shifts No one bugs you after hours

Cons

if you're in the NYC office, prepare to listen to Martin Clarke, the publisher, have a screaming toddler fit at the employees. He mostly does it to the British employees, I guess because they are stuck there on a work visa and can't walk out the door. I've never seen such employee abuse. This, naturally, doesn't make for a cheery office, and most of the editors are glum-faced and inapproachable. The hours can be pretty brutal - a nine hour regular day, no one seems to take a lunch (more of a cultural thing than a mandate), and you often stay late (again more of a cultural thing than a mandate, I seemed to get out on time). There doesn't seem to be any way of rising within the company from the reporters ranks - editors are usually brought in from the UK. There is enormous turnover with most people barely lasting a year. Little to no opportunity to do actual reporting.
