Pros

Part of an awesome family of companies -- NewsCorp. Can be degrading/a con if you pivot to DowJones. Work with very intelligent and diverse team and people. As part of security team, have a weekly standup lunch and learn with teams from other companies. Great culture. Smooth sailing job/work environment.

Cons

Stuck in bureaucracy. Management's hands are tied when it comes to promises and getting things done. They constantly say they want to implement things but never do it. Co-workers can be toxic if they have a superiority complex and try to undermine management. NewsCorp family of companies favors DowJones and gives them toys, money and influence. Other sister companies get the aftermath. I have *few* negative things or cons to actually *say* because this was a fun job. The commute can suck depending on where you're coming from in New Jersey.

Pros

Fully remote with all necessary tech provided, weekday schedule, great benefits, good leadership, small close-knit teams, generous PTO in addition to paid holidays

Cons

Base salary could be better but is offset with benefits package. Employee retention is high (a huge plus IMO) butcould limit upward mobility if you're looking for it.
