Pros

Amazing Social Media team insightful business intelligence team Ability to break news and react to news in expert fashion; credible, trustworthy, authoritative Free snacks and coffee Great views from the 49th and 50th floor Tickets to Mets games (rarely) Free learning and development courses on LinkedIn

Cons

The success of the website has been hampered and hindered by poor decisions Failure to complete website has cost SNY six figures in digital ad revenue because of incompetence and ineptitude. Hired an external team that screwed up website Launched a half-baked version of website that wasn't close to being finished and has caused content managers severe headaches ever since. Fired that external team before having them complete website or explain what they'd done or how things work in our CMS hired another external team that is overwhelmed and doesn't know how to fix it. SNY is now going on almost 2 years of having a website that takes 10+ seconds to load and is getting worse in search performance by the day Caught a coworker repeatedly calling me names on Slack to another colleague. Meanwhile, they hand out a subjective "performance improvement plan" to one of their top performers because "it's not what we do, it's how we do it" but can't clearly articulate how the plan is objective. Confusing direction given verbally in 1-on-1 meetings, contradictory follow up feedback given in written form. It's a toxic environment when people can't feel psychologically safe or comfortable enough to talk to each other. Instead of people addressing their issues with another party head on, they complained to a supervisor. That doesn't lead to trust, that leads to doubt, fear, contempt, and resentment. not healthy whatsoever, bad attitudes turn what could be a dream job into a nightmare
