      Pros

      - Competent and friendly colleagues (most of which are there as a result of an acquisition) - Reasonable work/life balance - The opportunity to work on interesting publications that can make an impact on consumers

      Cons

      - Dated print publication mindset - The C-suite's allegiance is to the shareholders not the employees who make things happen - Below market pay - Absurd cost cutting initiatives such as hot desking (you have to find a different work station every day) without a reasonable WFH policy to offset the impact on productivity hot desking has. - They cut corners on critical tools such as video conferencing and word processing tools - Very unfriendly upper management who won't even look you in the eye when walking past you let alone greet you - Lack of innovative mindset - Products have a very legacy feel to them - Difficult to obtain the tools you need to do your job - Abrupt downsizing can occur at any time - They don't invest in employee development. Learning platforms were removed because they claim that "you can learn from each other" without implementing policy/time slots to enable that. - Very little in the way of culture. No budget for team happy hour/events. - Office amenities are very bare bone. Almost no snacks or beverages.
