Pros

Overall company has a great foundation and values which will allow for longevity. Higher management sees that innovation is a necessity hence the push towards more diversification of media forms. Precovid great office space and location wasn’t too bad either (convenient by all subways).

Cons

Low pay and no clear paths for growth in advertising. The ones on the bottom are holding the weight for the those above them. Onboarding process for the actual role is close to nonexistent. Typical office politics - those who do get promoted are often mediocre or because they threatened to quit. Salary raises are either minimal and not reflective of the competitive market. My advice: get the name for your resume and get better pay elsewhere. For those who want to get by on doing the bare minimum, you’ll do great because others will hold your load for you and the brand sells itself. If you’re naturally looking to push and challenge yourself, look elsewhere. No one will advocate for you so you’re on your own.

Pros

Challenging and rewarding work. You'll work in an environment that publishes the news everyday, if you are excited about helping people learn more about the world, you'll love it here. Good benefits, hybrid work, and really smart coworkers.

Cons

Does not pay like big tech but as an IC you'll be part of union with job protections
