Pros

Great people - I've been lucky enough to work in a close-knit team in which everyone really supports each other. Easy to learn and great access to training, and senior members of staff are willing to pass on knowledge and share advice. Opportunity to really own projects and have responsibility/accountability from an early stage if you work hard and show you are capable and willing. Overall a good company vibe with clear goals and targets, but room and budget for creativity and to try new things where necessary. Great central location and nice office with free breakfast.

Cons

Over-arching heavy focus on praising sales teams with less attention on how much marketing (and other teams i.e. editorial) do. At times, promotions within the marketing team seems slower than within the sales team, and marketing job titles less senior than counterparts in sales teams.

Pros

A well established business with some great brands. Central location. Some very well clued up people and innovative ideas. Wanting to do better which is a plus.

Cons

Too many ordinary people with a "Director" in their job title making it very hard to make decisions. Forever changing their minds and operating as too many different trading areas that are competing with each other.

Pros

Great location; friendly, social people; nice open plan offices with staff consulted on decor plans; breakfast, tea & coffee, sweets provided; flexible working opportunities; OK benefits package, including discounts on local businesses; two yoga classes a week - free; regular communication on the state of the company; upcoming projects, etc - sometimes too much. Focus on personal development and access to training courses. Good holiday amount - up to 30 days dependent on how long you've been there. Great brands.

Cons

Lots of changes in structures, management, HR processes. Big focus on praising commercial and events departments, and not enough on editorial, marketing, digital and other teams. Low salaries in some areas, and regular promotions and raises in others, like sales/commercial/senior management. Pressure to stay late to impress.. The usual big business issues.
