Pros

Purity of mission: global structure and reach allows journalism to be conducted with little concern for local or regional business and political influence.

Cons

Management is a nest of entrenched interests and connected folks. For every smart person at the top, you'll deal with three who bring nothing to the table. This fosters a mentality where MANY confuse their position for actual talent and smarts. New York also bigfoots the show, often in needlessly careless ways.

Pros

Small company feel with fairly flat hierarchy. Lots of growth opportunity to climb from junior to upper echelons. Heavy cross-departmental interaction.

Cons

Various extremes of management personalities aka politics to deal with, which slows down decisions. Difficult media landscape to navigate.
