Nothing good happens here

Pros

Remote work is always a pro.

Cons

It’s the most toxic and abusive place I’ve ever seen. People are expendable and fired faster than they’re hired. Newcomers who want to make a difference are quickly demoralized because leadership is not supportive. They will blame you for failing but fire everyone possessing the skills needed to succeed. If you’re not fired you’ll likely quit because of anxiety, stress, and/or depression. It’s truly nightmare. I don’t understand how Berkshire Hathaway hasn’t stepped in yet.

Toxic management overshadows remote work benefits

Pros

Work from home and this is the only positive thing

Cons

Bad leadership, toxic work culture. Finger pointing, blaming, gossiping. If you ever get a reasonable manager he will be fired soon. Avoid this place at all cost.

Unhealthy newsroom culture and poor leadership response

Pros

A few good people, but that's about it.

Cons

The NY newsroom had a toxic culture that included repeated instances of inappropriate and discriminatory behavior that newsroom leadership and HR failed to address and stop it. Employees who raised concerns about the work environment were not supported, and in some cases appeared to face retaliation or negative consequences for speaking up. This created a culture where people were discouraged from reporting issues. There was also a pattern of certain managers exercising authority in ways that felt punitive or unnecessary, which contributed to a hostile and intimidating environment. Overall, this was one of the most difficult workplaces I’ve experienced, and the lack of accountability from senior leadership allowed these issues to continue.
