The New York Times

The formal process used for promotions and hiring is predictable and transparent. There is a sense of fairness above all else. Feedback is taken seriously, and changes are made company-wide when appropriate.

There are a lot of opportunities to give and receive feedback, and the overall impression is that everyone is working toward the same goals.

People are generally kind to each other and respectful. The culture is moderately formal, but the work-life balance is fantastic, and coworkers often help accommodate life events for each other.

The formal processes can be complex! Lots of paperwork and things can move slowly. Meeting heavy culture can take up a lot of time.

Like any large company, there can be sudden shifts in priorities that can force you to drop everything and take care of a big project, but teams usually work together quite well in those cases. It can be disruptive, but such projects are infrequent.

It can be difficult to keep track of all the stakeholders for projects in such a large company, and projects can be delayed when a team catches up late in a process.
