      Fully remote work, competitive salary

      Cons

      Other recent reviews are spot on. Culture and morale has deteriorated in recent years, along with any sense of clarity or direction around the company’s mission and goals. The company seems to be growing too quickly with little strategy. Management will make a show of seeking feedback, but companywide decisions are made abruptly and are handed down from the very top. Layoffs have become a frequent occurrence. The institutional focus is less on fostering quality news gathering and sharing, and more on bolstering the appearance that the CEO is some sort of AI guru. Employees are pushed to “use AI” as much as possible with little direction or resources, and concerns about the tech’s limitations are brushed off. The results? Low quality “AI tools,” and a high tolerance for slop oozing its way into previously high quality output. Leadership and a few favorites receive praise, promotions and preferential treatment, but generally employees burn out quickly from frenetic pacing, understaffing and constantly shifting priorities. Many are either checked out or looking for other opportunities. Stay far away.
