Pros
Great brand, employees take great pride in their work, most people are friendly and content, fair and balanced reporting culture, great office (NY) with spectacular views, an open-air basketball court on the 16th floor, gym inside office, easy commute to Penn station from almost anywhere, best work environment to keep yourself abreast of breaking news from around the world, fantastic journalists and dedicated cameramen who share experiences, corporate bigwigs share their vision, plans and goals in an honest, open manner and regular townhall-style meetings help them announce new ventures and changes and take questions from employees, good salary compared to the market, ability and ease of moving to other teams within the company.
Cons
Not a very diverse workplace especially the top management, the HR division is very non-responsive and doesn't deal promptly and efficiently with management issues, HR violations etc. Bad management doesn't get checked or moved out, very non-confrontational HR policies which leads to many disgruntled employees. Things take forever to get processed or approved as too much paperwork/bureaucracy involved.
