Pros

Great story-telling. Some wonderful journalists. AJ has the means and the resources to really tell the story in more depth than others. That makes it a wonderful news channel to work for.

Cons

Unless you are a favourite of the management, you will not get ahead here. It does not matter how much you push, or apply yourself, or go that extra mile. You will not be recognised. You will be pigeon-holed until the day you finally decide to leave. So many talented people have left London because management refuses to let people grow. Pay rises? few and far between. Massive disparity with Doha pay and benefits. And management has no desire to try and fix the chasm. It's ridiculous. And morale is low as a result.
