Pros

ProPublica allows you to dive in deep and shed light on serious political and social problems. Leadership and staff are all dedicated to accountability reporting. Working here, you feel like you can make a difference.

Cons

Like almost every news organization, it is hard to find work/life balance. Investigations can grind on for months and can take a toll on mental health.
