Pros

Very good set of reporters, friendly atmosphere.

Cons

The work can be extremely monotonous - spreadsheets, endless numbers. It's a love/hate kind of job, and wouldn't consider it real journalism, more market analysis. Management seems out of touch regarding home working - has a "flexible" policy that gives you little choice as to when you can come in. Depending on what team you're on, editors can be extremely incompetent or very good - it's pot luck

Pros

There are some very talented people in editorial and some good managers. Managers have more integrity than at other places of work I have been at, and this also goes for senior leadership. Pay is good and you will get rewarded if you become an institution for your sector. Argus finally saw sense and introduced a flexible working policy, having been strictly against working from home before Covid. Salary increments were OK prior to Covid. Senior leaders are trying to take the company to the next level and hierarchies are less flat than they used to be, but are still ok. Some of the organisation has been tidied up over the past years.

Cons

There are some individuals that unintentionally serve as bottlenecks (read: are incompetent). Sometimes these are people who are responsible for whole business units, hindering transformation of parts of the company. There are business units that cannot compete with the industry leaders for these reasons, as they lack experience and understanding of what 'work to the highest quality' means. Benefits are poor and not competitive.
