Pros

Talented, passionate, collaborative colleagues across editorial teams

Cons

Senior management communications atrocious prior to, throughout and post acquisition; unrealistic expectations on impact of acquisition and redundancies; redundancy process abysmal - no respect for brand's past nor the contribution of the editorial team; not enough consultation on role and responsibility changes; under-appreciated from start to finish; gimmicky values, full of clichés that don't mean anything.

Pros

There are some amazing people that work in the U.S. Great location

Cons

Too many Chiefs and not enough Indians. Focus more on the people that are working for you now instead of the company's you are acquiring. Compensate your employees based on the Market and not what you think you can get out of them for the lowest salary.
