      Fascinating work, but frustrating because of growing distance between top management and people doing the work.

      Pros

      You are part of the information industry, which is undergoing incredible change. This provides many opportunities to learn new skills.

      Cons

      The company is having difficulty adapting to the changes that have occurred and are occurring in information publishing. Most top people learned the publishing business in a print world and are continually behind the curve with regard to how end users access and use information. Top managers also talk mostly amongst themselves--communication with the workforce is mostly top-down and suggestions from the people doing the work get lip service at best. Ultimately it is a very frustrating place to work for any length of time.

      Badly Managed Mess with Little Hope for Recovery

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A paycheck. Insurance. An occasional feeling of being needed but constantly reminded that the future was bleak.

      Cons

      Constant changes in direction, inability to make the simplest of decisions, bad communication, terrible requirements documents written in unintelligible language. No documentation or training on systems as "management wasn't comfortable with that", Seemed to realize they were headed towards bankruptcy so willing to squeeze employees for everything they could get. A sweatshop with intelligence using Agile as a way to physically and mentally harm employees.
