Pros

Great brand, employees take great pride in their work, most people are friendly and content, fair and balanced reporting culture, great office (NY) with spectacular views, an open-air basketball court on the 16th floor, gym inside office, easy commute to Penn station from almost anywhere, best work environment to keep yourself abreast of breaking news from around the world, fantastic journalists and dedicated cameramen who share experiences, corporate bigwigs share their vision, plans and goals in an honest, open manner and regular townhall-style meetings help them announce new ventures and changes and take questions from employees, good salary compared to the market, ability and ease of moving to other teams within the company.

Cons

Not a very diverse workplace especially the top management, the HR division is very non-responsive and doesn't deal promptly and efficiently with management issues, HR violations etc. Bad management doesn't get checked or moved out, very non-confrontational HR policies which leads to many disgruntled employees. Things take forever to get processed or approved as too much paperwork/bureaucracy involved.

Pros

You get to work with lovely people, some of which are brilliant.

Cons

This is an organization where relationships often matter more than results. Advancement tends to favor visibility and proximity over impact, which can make the path forward feel less about contribution and more about navigation. HR and People functions appear heavily resourced on paper, yet those teams are frequently stretched thin, creating the impression of care without the corresponding capacity to deliver it meaningfully. Each year brings another cycle of organizational reshuffling that can feel at odds with the stated focus on employee experience and development. Learning and development exists, but its purpose is sometimes unclear, as day-to-day work life has grown more complicated rather than more supported compared to prior years. There is a noticeable gap between the language used around innovation and data driven decision making and the organization’s appetite for actual change. The culture often speaks in aspirational terms while operating in familiar patterns. For employees who value transparency, consistency, and progress over rhetoric, this can be frustrating. The result is a workplace that talks about transformation but remains largely committed to the status quo.
