Pros: Employees across the company support a great mission, whether in the newsroom or on the business/engineering side. It's a collaborative environment with excellent support for work-life balance, remote friendliness, a strong commitment to tech, and support for learning and growth.

Cons: can be a meeting-heavy culture.

Pros: Opportunity to work collaboratively with top engineers.

Cons: Hard to get promotions or raises.

Pros: Location-wise, it is in the middle of the city, and that's about it. Hopefully, I'll be able to say I'm from NYTimes in my next job interview and get a salary hike, because at this point that's all this company is worth.

Cons: Horrible management from the ground up. The manager that I have to work with for my team is absolutely unprofessional; he curses, screams, and shouts any time things get critical. He assigns unrealistic deadlines. I believe this manager has a personality disorder. He has lost countless more than 10 DBAs in less than 2 years so far, both MySQL, Oracle, and MSSQL DBAs across the board. He is not a team player and scapegoats his employees for his shortcomings. I am stuck here until my visa clears, and I'll be out of here as soon as possible. Salary is below average here as well for the amount of man-hours we all put in. When it comes to technology, NYTimes uses the cheapest solutions that can't handle the I/O operations that are required for an optimally performing database. As a DBA, accepting this position has been by far the worst mistake in my career.
