Pros

High and rising engineering and product standards at this company. Solid ads business, solid tech talent, overall great outlookfor a media company. Leadership is thoughtful, and the managers I interact with are extremely empathetic and patient. Most individuals here are good natured and smart. Cox deal was well timed and in my opinion, an excellent decision.

Cons

Overall compensation is actually quite competitive, especially now that a new 401k match is in place, but not always market leading for engineers.
