Bullying culture, long hours, very poor leadership.
Pros
You get to work with some fantastic journalists as well as other talented and well connected people
Cons
The hours that you are required to work mean you cannot have any work/life balance. The Editorial leadership globally is very poor. There is a lot of bullying and for many women they experience misogyny on a daily basis. I witnessed senior leaders in the US teams bullying their direct reports to the point where they would be physically shaking after a meeting. The business infrastructure to support the teams are stuck in an archaic mentality with poor business practices. Recruitment of new leadership has made the company take many steps backwards with limited consideration for wellbeing of staff. Poor behaviour is rife within the most senior leadership teams. The recent global changes have meant it is no longer a place to work if you want to feel resourced and supported in your job. Taking decisions are very difficult- if the answer you give is not well received it is taken above your head all the way to the top.
