Pros

If you are a self-starter, innovative- and reform-minded person, you can enjoy working here. So many things changes in a year or so, and if you are independent even you can offer new ideas to make your work environment better. In some cases, anything can be possible kind of company. Compensation is probably the best among the journalism industry.

Cons

If you are assigned to a fast-growing beat coverage, you tend to work more than your peers. It may be hard to find work-life balance for some.
