      Pros

      There are many positives: I work on new, interesting technology; I have a highly competent manager from whom I've learned a great deal; I get to contribute to a platform that supports journalism globally; etc.

      Cons

      The pay is not as high as what I could earn in other sectors: I work a lot of hours but am making an average salary for what someone with my job makes in my city. Also, there are no bonuses or profit sharing measures tied to performance.

      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.
