Cadet journalist

Growth culture, independence, accountability, develop connections with industry

Cons

On call, no work life balance

Reporter

Mar 10, 2026

Pros

Great place for rookie reporters. Understanding bosses, nice colleagues. Work arrangement is okay.

Cons

The benefits are not so good. HR, especially that person whose name starts with K, was quite horrible. Really tried to shortchange me in every way and trap me into agreeing to everything. Glad I found out when I spoke to the person who interviewed me. What was agreed between them after my interview did not translate into my offer.

Great work environment and supportive colleagues.

Cons

Many of the staff are old timers. Younger staff don’t have much opportunities to grow as the top positions are all held by those who have been there for decades. Over the years, the benefits have also been reduced a lot.

Good health insurance coverage but only for individual

the whole management, HR, bosses, have no empathy. Underlying racism within every decision made. You are expected to be a robot and work for the company and no such thing as personal problems are allowed to interfere your work.
