The New York Times Employer Reviews

Everyone heard of New York Times. How does it feel working for the NYT? It depends on your occupation. If you are on digital news or web deevlopment side, there is a lot of growth in this area. However if you are on management or journalistic side the company is not heavily expanding staff in those areas, layoffs happen a lot.
Building is spacious and – more... neat, the work culture is relaxed and very politically correct (tip : leave your questionable or non-diverse jokes at home, company takes diversity really seriously). A lot of great events and great people to meet. Overall a great place to work at. – less

Daily routine of customer service,daily paper work, counting papers.Management was not very helpful with problem solving and management only show up when there was a problem. Co-workers work very well together. Delivering newspapers at the last minute and using a map to create a route list in the early morning

Great company to work for it. Amazing working environment and smart people

The New York Times is a very collaborative and matrixed working environment, where different skill sets, backgrounds and departments are brought in to solve business problems.

I learned how integral it is to build consensus around ideas. If the strategy is sound, the creative experience meaningful and the urgency real, it still does not matter. You – more... have to work at developing buy-in, nurturing cross-discipline relationships and cut your confidence with a bit of humility.

The hardest part of the job is dealing with how the process can stunt speed and agility, which is critical in marketing and advertising.

The most enjoyable part is the knowledge that what I am promoting is incredibly meaningful to our consumers. It's not a utility or commodity. It's not news; it's The New York Times. – less

Experience working at offshore was good. Learnt many technologies and had a good work atmosphere.

I enjoyed everything about my job at the NY Times. The work was interesting. The people were great. AND the management was enlightened.

I had a great career at The Times and enjoyed every minute of it.

It was an eye opening and amazing experience to work with one of the biggest newspapers in the world.

The New York Times is a great place to begin a career. Management is always looking to help you grow and succeed at your daily roles and always willing to provide help when asked.

Very much a fishbowl environment. Office hours were casual, though - you didn't have to be there at 9am.

The New York Times is one of the most recognized brands in the country. I find media and technology an amazing feat. It is mindblowing how many people and moving parts it takes to put out a daily newspaper and have local distribution partners throughout the world deliver a quality controlled product. The most enjoyable part of this job was coordinating – more... our Competing Through Quality Meetings. These were a week long, quarterly awards ceremony event that would be co-hosted by one of our printsite parners. – less

Excellent opportunity for interns. Great for networking and finding resources.

Great company to work for. Lots of opportunity and networking for employees and interns.

I worked in the different daily sections of the newspaper, which made for variety in the work week.
Meeting deadlines could be challenging some closing days, but that is par for the course in this business. I liked the adrenalin rush followed by a sense of accomplishment.

A typical day at the Times, I would be contacting the venue and in house corporate employees via email through Outlook on the Times Network in obligation of organizing vendor day on a specific day. All vendors had the option to present their product and give these busy corporate employees opportunities to shop for computer products, ipads/pda, cellular – more... phones, gyms sign up, and get a monthly back rubs. Besides that I had other projects that I would have to handle hands on with no other co-workers like networking through Times Facebook website, and broadcasting vendor days via email and flyer. Other assignments were to set up conference rooms for the vice president of HR and his staff. The hardest part of the job was getting to and from the job on no salary internship and every day i had to do mountain of work from several different departments. The most enjoyable part of the job was the free perks from all the vendor that came through at the Times. – less

The last ten years with the company I worked out of my home. The job included extensive travel throughout the Northeast - great co-workers and management. I've held various positions with the NYT and work for related companie.

company as a whole does well for their employees by providing good benefits and will work with your family life as a signal parent. Of course everyone has issues it is a hard company to move up in.
