      Pros

      great benefits and health care - the company does really take care of you in that sense. better than average work environment free snacks and fancy offices flexibility in working arrangements (work from home, leaves, etc) lots of opportunities to move within the company if you network right and work hard enough but it can be hard to find. after all, it is not a financial institution, it is a tech company and a data vendor.

      Cons

      lack of vision in career path - you need to keep yourself motivated and educated to get ahead of the game. The top managers are great, your direct boss can be awesome - middle managers? hm, not so much. why is working hour one more longer in APAC for a same pay without any justifiable reason?

            Great health benefits... that you will need to use as your mental health deteriorates here.

            Cons

            Very big brother. You are constantly watched. Rarely will you get praise. Often will you be criticized

                  Pros

                  *Great benefits where you don't pay for health insurance and they do 50% 401k match *Conversion to full time from freelance is likely to happen and can be quick *Beautiful building with good city views from the balcony and from upper floors *Good facilities for TV news *Worked with a couple of good managers *Quicktake show is great

                  Cons

                  *Base pay isn't very high is lower than other major TV networks *Because base pay is lower, they tend to hire less than competent employees (this is more in the tech operations dept . Editorial team is not nearly this way since you actually need a deep finance/journalism background) *Have all full time staff on 9 hour shifts daily with no overtime pay *Turnaround of managers and employees happen so new managers who are learning the ropes of the position don't manage well at times *Need to deal with boring finance news

                    Luck of the draw - Can be the most stressful job you will ever have. Hated every minute of the Analytics department.

                      Business Outlook

                      Pros

                      Free food all day long! Great benefits and a very fast-paced environment. Employees are given freedom and they have flexibility. Management is not in your face all the time but they expect you to come up with the goods. If 'they' like you then you're set.

                      Cons

                      Be careful because if you make one false step you will be put out on your ear and you are shunned for life. I know a few folks that did the wrong thing and they paid for it with their reputations. Forget references. Loyalty is #1 at this company but if Management expects loyalty they have to give an employee a reason to stay. Salaries are not competitive.

                      Underwriter

                      Had an interview today and at the end recruiter asked if I was interviewing with another company I was honest and said yes I currently have an offer already with another company. Should I have said that? Worried it may hurt my chances with the interview process going forward.

                      Many people are getting ghosted during the interview process these days so I started https://ghosts.fyi to track companies that regularly ghost. Let me know if you could see this being helpful during your job search!
