Pros

Despite the recent upheaval it remains a storied institution with a powerful newsroom that continues to get great scoops. Lots of willingness among leadership to tear things up; no sacred cows. For the right person, being at a respected organization at a moment of such immense change could provide opportunities.

Cons

Very poor communication/transparency from the executive team. Many big decisions can feel arbitrary and even cruel. Not a clear plan for the path forward, or a track record of aligning resources with goals.

Pros

Supporting journalism is the one good thing.

Cons

The culture needs improvement, with a strict in-office policy that may not work well for everyone. There also seems to be ongoing challenges with employee retention, which can impact team morale, consistency, and long-term stability. The tech guild and unions made me feel really uncomfortable with coworkers protesting outside the office.
