Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of freebies lol, very process driven company

Cons

The newsroom displays a very poor editorial understanding of Asian news/stories which is surprising given that it's had an on-ground team in Singapore for the longest time. Junior producers are not encouraged to pitch or contribute ideas because of its top-down bureaucratic structure. This perpetuates a very weak newsroom culture
