Pros

A couple of helpful, knowledgable folks. Beer, t-shirts, mugs.

Cons

Folks who have the right experience don't get promoted. There are folks who have a ton of experience but don't get to take up major managerial roles. Some manangers just try to pick up skills on the job or try learning from their subordinates. Ego-driven managers. Low-ball pay structure. No bonuses. Employee-performance reviews are politically motivated. Lack of transparency in decision-making.

Pros

- Great content team - Name recognition grants access opportunities - A handful of supportive veterans who can still get things done

Cons

- New VP is behind the times and a bully to any staff that rank below him, especially women. - Management's first instinct to cut costs is always lay-offs, while investing in projects and acquisitions that only further strain workload - It's always "do more with less," not "what changes would actually allow more productivity?" - Morale is so low many long term staff openly talk about job hunting and two key people have left since new VP's appointment (and are yet to be replaced) - No clear plan for dealing with falling traffic or issues faced due to AI - Technical innovation focused anywhere but editorial
