Pros

Fellow reporters are determined to do good work and be a team.

Cons

The company has managed its money poorly in the past, which now means the newsroom is being asked to do more with less. FiscalNote's upper management seems to have very little understanding of what the newsroom actually does.

Pros

There are still many talented and hardworking employees there.

Cons

Constant restructuring, layoffs, and uncertainty. Pride themselves on objective unbiased reporting, yet now they want to enter into prediction markets. 25% layoff right before Q1 ended. Leadership executed a reverse stock split that heavily eroded shareholder value, only for the stock to continue falling and the company to be delisted from the NYSE shortly thereafter.
