      Pros

      The work feels relevant and timely, you may reach millions of readers. The journalism is excellent.

      Cons

      Some difficult personalities, very unclear how to advance to a higher level as a younger employee. Work /life balance can be tricky.

      Tech Org Seeks Discipline,

      Business outlook

      Pros

      - The mission. - Tech-wise, can sometimes feel start-up like. New projects are cloud-first (GCP) and most teams have moved to agile. Room for new ways of doing work and rethinking old approaches. - Decently large tech org with a depth of experience. - Lots of opportunity for growth and strong focus on learning. - Strong architecture review board. - Push for more regularization in languages, systems, and production quality. - There are some excellent managers in the organization who are committed to their employee's careers and growth. - Diversity initiatives appear to be having some affect in the tech organization.

      Cons

      - Feels enterprise-y in a lot of ways: culture-wise, a lot of the tech staff don't live in the City and many teams are incredibly siloed from each other; project-wise, things can move slowly and old projects live forever. - There's a lack of cohesiveness in the org: while engineering has started to move to a product model, Product & PM are still catching up; some teams lack development discipline; communication between teams can feel like pulling teeth. - Some parts of the tech org are understaffed. - Diversity continues to be a problem in the tech organization. - Relationship between the business and the newsroom is still weird.
