Pros
I say this in total honesty - this is the job I've been looking for. Management is caring and understanding. They help you every step of the way when you need it. The training programs they have get you to where you want to be in your career. Gannett is a very open environment that's laid back and comfortable. I'd recommend working here if you have the chance.
Cons
I only have two real picks, and they're not huge at all. The bathrooms are way too small for how many people work here. Also, the water machines are awful. Other than that, no complaints.
Advice to Management
Keep doing what you're doing. You're all great coaches and you keep doing great every day.

"Best Onboarding Process I have had in my career thus far"
StarStarStarStarStarI have been working at Gannett full-time
Pros
The HR department made my hiring process very "easy" - what is naturally a stressful situation - was made easier by the outstanding responsiveness and sincere care.
Cons
Like with any big organization - once I arrived, some things weren't ready for me, such as my monitors and keyboard - I have a laptop but it took a week to get everything set up.

Pros
Laid back company culture, good work/life balance. Decent benefits, trending in right direction. They actually do try to make it a better place. Tons of great people work here. The tech stack embraces progression, it's not stuck in the past.
Cons
If you don't work in the D.C. office, or haven't previously, there is a significantly reduced chance of upward mobility. You and your career will be continuously ignored and de-prioritized, moving slower than everyone else. They know this is a problem and have been trying to fix it, but after all my time here I don't have any hope it's going to change. What incentive do those in power have to give it away ? Same goes for many positions/decisions across departments. If you are going to work in D.C. then you're likely ok.
Also lets just say the "blameless" culture isn't actually blameless, I've seen some pretty gross things in closed door meetings, ridiculing and mocking other employees. Most people are nice and team players, but not everyone.Advice to Management
Stop treating local market employees like second class citizens, and Tysons employees as first class citizens.

Pros
After 4 years of being gone. I thought the years that I had previous spent with Gannett were exciting but now that I am back they have taken the Company to a whole new universe in technology for their customers and clients.
Bringing the client on a digital experience to a new level to bring the Right Message, at the Right Time, and the Right Place (Digital) is amazing. I am excited to work in this space.
