      A Total Mess Can't Describe It

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Free food (but only healthy) Work from home occasionally The list is so small I'm not sure there's anything else.

      Cons

      If you enjoy experiences such as: Penn Station at rush hour A hobo throwing up on you Being asked if you work for terrorists by basically everyone A comically inept bureaucracy that functions like the something out of the movie Brazil Then this is the place for you. Oh! And they fire everyone all the time for no reason, other than seemingly the price of oil goes down.

      Great people, Great culture, interesting work but absolutely NO job security

      Business outlook

      Pros

      You will work with some of the brightest people in the media industry. People who want to make a difference in delivering unbiased journalism. The culture and stated mission is infectious, in a good way. Compensation and benefits are top notch. Work-life balance is good. You are plugged in to world-wide events, daily.

      Cons

      Upper management is either clueless or powerless. Everything (including minute expense reports) goes through the CEO who has no idea what he's doing. There is absolutely NO job security. Work here at your own risk. There have been multiple layoffs in the past two years. Seriously, the sheer level of talent this place has let go is mind boggling. If you do take the risk of working here, be aware that your severance package will be below market-level when you are eventually laid off.
