I have been working at New York Times for more than a year
Pros

I have been working at Google full-time for more than a year
Pros
Good pay and benefits, very nice and respectful colleagues.
Cons
Large company so it can take a lot of time to get things done. Very beaurocratic.
Advice to Management
Don't be so paternal with no meeting hours or no meeting weeks. Let us block off focused work hours. This makes it even harder to get things done when you actually need to meet with someone.
