Disappointing

Pros

Company still has a good reputation

Cons

Lack of advancement. I have never seen a job description or a career plan. HR is obstuctionist. There is a serous lack of leadership. Middle managers are yes men and women. Nobody thinks for themselves. That is considered dangerous. There is no loyalty.

Pros

You will never work with better journalists than the ones who work here. Their attitudes, work ethics and results are simply mind blowing.

Cons

This company is focused on the realities of changing technology and new executives, less so their employees. It is a company in flux -- it used to be obvious how employees' work supported the goals of the company, but lack of direction and less transparency from management has been a part of recent changes.

Pros

Amazing history, tremendous brand, the mission of giving the world the news and information it needs is still there, somewhere. Fantastic people, smart, and who generally take care of one another. You feel like you are part of something bigger than yourself.

Cons

The company culture has changed. Internal politics have gotten worse. Ratings are not where they should be. Concerns that new management seems to care less and less about taking care of employees. Definite split between New York and Atlanta.
