Pros

Lots of opportunities, surprisingly meritocratic and good coworkers.

Cons

Wouldn't recommend if you enjoy daylight, flexibility or having a manager with people skills. The health benefits are great - the downside is you'll probably need them as a result of working here.

Pros

Tons of opportunities to chase stories and hone reporting skills. Interns are given a lot of responsibility and assumed to have a high competence level. Journalists in DC office are excellent and great mentors.

Cons

Some administrative work, but that's to be expected. Internships are not extended beyond their one semester term

Pros

- Great atmosphere and collaboration ethic in internal teams - Pays a good salary compared to competitor/industry standards

Cons

- Lots of red tape / approval needed to get things moving - They don't promote based on performance, just availability. So you would have to wait for your manager to be promoted or move elsewhere.
