Pros

Good work/life balance, pretty good sense of flexibility, 20 PTO days, benefits are decent, innovative teammates with great ideas, will promote you if you work above and beyond your job description, don't have to check your email after-hours

Cons

Some salaries are below the average I think, but the work/life balance makes up for it.

Pros

Will train you even if you know absolutely nothing about business or finance for journalism roles. Similar limited requirements for their smaller analysis business. Staff never checks email after they leave work, a plus in either finance or journalism. While more strict than less-profitable sister publications, Debtwire is still quite lax. The European business is run well and with more appreciation for staff.

Cons

Not professional whatsoever from hiring to office standards while you're there to when you exit. Office culture is pretty non-existent, although they can be known to throw a good party (and see lawsuit in 2015 by two female employees alleging harassment). No advancement opportunities; you can stay three years and be promoted one small rung up or about six or eight and get a bump to a lower-level position in the hierarchy.
