For a journalist, it's a rare news agency that cares about how you write; but the ethos is rather Wall Street

Business Outlook

Pros

For journalists, it's a double-edged sword. On the one hand, there's great attention to how articles get written and not just spitting "news" out for the sake of it. But on the other hand, that opens the door to micro-management and to some rather prescriptive rules about how/what to write. Ample scope to grow and advance your career.

Cons

The work ethos is very much Wall Street which means intense, long hours and a presumption that you are never really "off the job" (well, a BIT when you are on vacation). There is also excessive attention in terms of the news agency on what major clients (i.e. banks) want to read rather than a broader news agenda. So sometimes the focus seems rather absurd.
