      Pros

      Fascinating work, great exposure, OK pay and good benefits. A good place to work for a short period of time before moving on.

      Cons

      High-level managers change every few years, but they all seem to have one thing in common: they impose a top-down management style where fear -- starting at the top and rolling downhill -- is the primary motivator and can create a sweatshop-like environment. The result: corners get cut in news gathering.

      Good to get on your resume but get out when you can.

      Pros

      Get to play with lots of cool cutting edge technology. Great place to learn. Great benefits and a boat load of vacation.

      Cons

      Rampant cronyism. Being good at your job does not get you promoted. Small bureau in DC so promotions are few and far between. Promotions are dangled to get you to perform but then promises broken. High turn over due to exactly these things. Just went through massive layoffs where valued people were let go somewhat arbitrarily.
