Anyone considering any of these jobs is free to check Glassdoor, and probably will. Singling out one poster for a drive-by snipe is off-topic and unfair.
If you feel a burning need to protect your fellow users from employment at the New York Times, please avail yourself of the standard way to share information on HN and make a separate, careful, factual post. Bringing it up in the Who Is Hiring thread, where there's no room to evaluate whether the complaint is valid or just a smear, and the OP loses whether they engage with you or not, is not earnest discussion, it's attempted arson.
I'm going to detach this subthread now and mark it off-topic.
Right on! Recommending for others to read from an established source of company health ratings is absolutely cool. No one said anything pejorative about NYT here. If they did say something like that at Glassdoor, well, then I guess that's between NYT and that employee, and we are all free to think critically about it and decide whether it affects our opinion. In fact, it's a little frightening that anyone defending a journalism company would, in any way, suggest that it's "not cool" to promote as many open, full-disclosure-of-our-workplace sources as possible, and let readers decide for themselves what the merit of those sources ultimately is.
We won't be able to improve the working conditions, lack of specialization respect, burnout, or other industry problems unless more people vocally call out companies like this. If anything here is not cool, it's that more of this targeted, call-out-a-company-on-its-bullcrap doesn't happen.
