Vantaggi
GBH was my first full-time employer out of college, I think it's a very warm and collaborative environment with lots of experienced people more than willing to be mentors, and it's a wonderful place to grow and learn. The environment is very chill and oriented toward work-life balance (I imagine this is a great place to work if you're juggling work with being a parent), and the office has a relaxed dress code. Benefits are also pretty competitive, though a bit expensive. The office is really nice and modern, and the recent efforts of the new DEIA office show — there's been more in-person events, free food (!), and opportunities for you to make your voice heard, especially if you're a member of a traditionally marginalized community. If you want to work in public media, this is really the vanguard. It's a place with a lot of heart and commitment to its mission. Also, as of 2023 at least, they offer free parking (which comes in handy if you're ever at neighboring Roadrunner for live music)!
Svantaggi
Pay is unfortunately not competitive with most sectors, and certainly not keeping up with the cost of living in Boston, leading to some people I know who want to remain at GBH moving out of state. Office is in an up-and-coming (?) area of Brighton that is unfortunately pretty inconvenient to access via public transit. There isn't great back-and-forth between all departments and managers/upper managers can operate without a lot of oversight. It's also a little bit of a slow-moving and traditional place when it comes to career mobility, so prepare to put the years in if you're gearing at upward movement in the company.
