Pros
People are generally nice overall and the work is interesting.
Cons
There are some very nice people at this company however there are very specific and toxic personalities that are allowed to flourish and disrupt. The decentralized structure and continued accommodation of key toxic personnel makes the climate unnecessarily stressful and stifles any attempts to innovate and streamline processes which is extremely necessary. Micromanaging to the point of ridiculousness. Also, not very...

Pros
Interesting work, intelligent supervisor, good work/life balance, close to everything in NYC.
Cons
HR allows a work environment that is great for some but not others. They are aware of the problem children in the company and allow bad behavior to continue ad infinitum. No set policy on working from home so some people get the perk and some don’t. 21CF has done a great job at clearing out the negative employees. News Corp should follow soon before the ones who should be staying and making great contributions look...

StarStarStarStarStarI worked at News Corp full-time
Pros
Fairly challenging work but mostly reasonable in terms of work-life balance. Wonderful vacation package that almost can't be beat. My co-workers were amazing.
Cons
A lot of restructuring with little vision, upward mobility can be a challenge, management was pretty weak and short sighted. Also, pit against each other so collaboration was minimal due to infighting.
