Unscrupulous company

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

Unlimited paid leave was decent Some really good people worked there

Cons

Future grows by acquiring other profitable companies (certainly when I was there). In my case, the company I had previously worked for that they took over had nothing to do with publishing whatsoever, so they never really knew what to do with us. Unfortunately all the rumours about how they treated employees of newly acquired companies turned out to be true. People were let go, or allowed to leave, and not replaced. My department was restructured multiple times and my team went from 5 people to 1 (just me) in the space of a few months. I ended up with a manager that had no experience in data and analysis, so was unable to offer any support. Pay and bonuses were poor There really was a 'grow at all costs' mentality from the exec.

Pros

- The unlimited holiday is a big bonus - There are some nice people that work here - The offices are pleasant (if a little souless) - Good brands

Cons

- Pay is poor - Company culture is lacking. - Workplace is depressing - everyone seems miserable - Lack of benefits and perks such as extended parental leave, life assurance, etc. - They don't value experience, replacing long serving editors with graduates - Redundancies and cost cutting while the ELT boast about how many millions the company is making - Forced three days a week in the office is totally unnecessary - No focus on inclusion and diversity - Central functions massively overworked
