Pros

The pay and benefits were good, but have steadily declined over the years.

Cons

Guardian is anything but a pro-employee organization. Working at the NYC headquarters I found myself in a quagmire of backstabbing, sink or swim, multi-layers for approval of a sentence, "Let's have a meeting" nightmare. Individuality is unacceptable. Training is non-existent. Co-workers sabotage rivals while managers look on. It's a bloodthirsty place to work. If you're up for it, go for it.

Pros

Decent flexibility for hybrid model.

Cons

Strong push for AI to be used everywhere in the company, but there is no understanding of the consequences. Lip service for modernization while broken processes are simply ignored for unproven 'innovation' with technology. Discussions through the grapevine to significantly cut headcount. Poor workplace culture.
