Pros

- Very flexible work hours.. Work from home.. paid maternity leaves.. great place to learn and grow if you are determined and hard working. shocked to read most reviews here.. it is very unfair.. i have seen this company inside out .. specially in india.. this was a den of slackers.. those who would do politics and get people fired and stay on themselves for years while complaining to all new joinees especially good ones and filling their heads with wrong info about the company.. these good ones would eventually get fired... no one realised that these people who filled their heads with wrong trash never left the company? why? the bad employees have been given the pink slip now.. some people were actually fired few months ago but that was unfortunate..happens in all companies .. if you are a hard worker and want to grow in online sector.. this is the place to be... i left recently for a much higher salary package.. the place is not half as bad as it is described here.. looks like IBT guys dont care for bad reviews... and their bad eggs (employees) when they feel the heat they fill it here with trash. i worked in the india team.

Cons

Bad coffee / tea maybe?

Pros

Since I've been here for a while, my POV may be much different than someone who just started. I find there's a lot of freedom for people who have been here a while, especially on my vertical - I know other verticals don't have it as easy even if they've been working here a while. But its not that hard to learn the loopholes of the place and make them work to your benefit. It's pretty easy to work from home and a lot of people abuse it with no consequences.

Cons

If you're not white or male, over 30 or don't have an Ivy League pedigree you're going to get treated like crap. When I started this place was somewhat diverse, but now the majority of the editors are old white men and there are barely even any reporters of color or culture. There is no growth opportunities - in fact, most of the young editors have been demoted and pushed out.
