Pros
- Great content team
- Name recognition grants access opportunities
- A handful of supportive veterans who can still get things done
Kontras
- New VP is behind the times and a bully to any staff that rank below him, especially women.
- Management's first instinct to cut costs is always lay-offs, while investing in projects and acquisitions that only further strain workload
- It's always "do more with less," not "what changes would actually allow more productivity?"
- Morale is so low many long term staff openly talk about job hunting and two key people have left since new VP's appointment (and are yet to be replaced)
- No clear plan for dealing with falling traffic or issues faced due to AI
- Technical innovation focused anywhere but editorial
