      Good opportunities for young, hungry staff to play the game and grow.

      Pros

      About 90% great people to work with; fun culture of "small team, everyone on the same side"; outstanding product and content, something to feel proud about being a part of.

      Cons

      More than a few fairly sexist upper managers. Most of the staff is severely underpaid for the market. High level of burnout and turnover

      A great stepping stone; not likely more than that.

      Pros

      If you are interested in journalism and foreign policy, this is one of the best (and only) spots for you in the English-speaking world. Good brand among those who know it (mostly in DC). Employees on the edit side speak many different languages and have rangy and interesting backgrounds.

      Cons

      Now under new management, but complaints about arrogant and aloof management continue; do your diligence and talk to current employees before joining. It appears to remain a place where it is hard to move up. You may be asked to stay in your lane. Too dominated still by white men (and I say that as one myself). FP needs a more diverse newsroom to reflect the diversity of the world it seeks to cover. But cost cuts have hurt the product; more opinion pieces now, from a smaller array of voices.

      Good jumpstarter position

      Pros

      FP is an energetic organization with a lot of opportunity for learning and contributing if you demonstrate quality of work and are active in generating ideas. By working at FP a lot of doors open in terms of participating in events in DC.

      Cons

      Work frequently starts before you get to the office, reading news etc. And hours can stretch out long waiting for copy to return from authors, but this doesn't necessarily mean that you were busy all day. Coordination between departments was a bit disorganized at the time.
