      Exciting, friendly but hectic!

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - full of very intelligent, passionate and friendly people - a successful business with a proven model, focusing on growth and innovation rather than cost-cutting (definitely not the case in a lot of media) - amazing brands across all kinds of sectors, from homes to games, fashion to finance - unlimited holiday (I know it doesn't suit everyone but I like the lack of admin) - profit pool bonus means that everyone shares in success

      Cons

      - can be very fast-paced, and pursuit of excellence means that it's always onto the next thing with no let up - high expectations around use of data to make decisions, which doesn't suit everyone - some people don't like three days in the office but there are very very few full-remote hires - very commercially minded (even in editorial)

      Fun, positive work environment, under paid

      Pros

      Fun work environment with unlimited holiday (within reason). Management are always positive and encouraging without coming across as demanding.

      Cons

      Pays less than the majority of companies do for similar roles in the area. Honestly the only fault I have with working here.

      Avoid… you don’t want this in your future. CEO creates a hostile working environment

      Pros

      - global opportunity if your face fits - great brands - good place to cut your teeth if you’re starting your journalism career, but expect to be worked to the bone

      Cons

      - CEO is a puppeteer. She is compelling, she has loyal followers, but she consistently burns them out. It’s hard to ignore the amount of senior leadership that the company goes through. Five CPO’s in 18 months is worrying?! The turnover of staff, especially management, is mind blowing. - Lack of respect and no one is trusted. Zero autonomy. The CEO seemingly trusts no one to be an expert in their field, and it’s not uncommon for her to be the only voice in a meeting. Not only is her voice very loud, sweary and shouty, but there is no room for collaboration. It’s a dictatorship. - Diversity and inclusion isn’t a priority. They say it is, it isn’t. It’s all lip service. You’ll find very little inclusion anywhere in the business and very little in place to improve it. - Culture is dying before our eyes. This will not improve with the forced return to the office and leadership team need to listen to employees voicing their desire to work from home. A lot of talent has been lost. And this company runs leaner than any business I’ve been in. AKA not enough staff, can’t afford to lose any more. - Hostile work environment, not a nice place to work - mainly because of the way the CEO treats employees - Management do not care about anything other than profit. - no budget for learning and development. No room for colleague improvement. This surprised me, I expected a business of this size to want to develop their staff. No. - Can the person that writes the CEO weekly emails (we all know it’s not Zillah) please stop.
