      Not like it used to be

      Pros

      Deli on site. Casual clothing policy. Good subject matter / basis of company. Good office location. Some good staff.

      Cons

      Lots of redundancies. Over last couple of years, under recent management, gone towards a blame culture and don't discuss or listen to staff, making quick decisions. So much cost cutting, but expect staff to do same quality and often work late hours / weekends.

      Cheap, blame and dictate culture, unfeeling to staff

      Pros

      hhhhhmmm.... thinking..... still thinking.....aaaahhh..... Oh yes, they're in the centre of Bath - that's a con. There are some great staff there.

      Cons

      Always looking for cheapest ways of doing everything, how to cut costs to zero (including not getting staff in so over-resourcing current staff who end up working ridiculous hours and don't get a thanks). Blame games and non-collaboration. Current staff disillusioned, don't trust staff and fed up.

      Hit and Miss

      Pros

      The people here are incredible, reliable (most of the time) and are pretty down to earth. It's a good place to start and get a foot on the ladder in a publishing and you can progress in the company. Some of senior management have got nothing but your happiness in mind and the food downstairs isn't bad.

      Cons

      They don't spare any expense, for example doing building work to reshape the cafeteria and several offices (that didn't need it) ordering £400 of pizza a week for team moral but not paying for a bike cage in the basement after 2 bikes went missing. As soon as there is a loss people get nervous about who is going to be cut and possibly come back contracting. It just doesn't seem sometimes like they have thought things through.

We are proud to have some of the best people in the business in our boat and we're lucky to have such passionate colleagues delivering great results. We constantly work with our management teams in the business to ensure their teams are engaged, understand how they fit into the bigger picture and are always mindful of well-being and employee satisfaction. We are careful about where we invest our money and largely, when it comes to office improvements, these are based on huge amounts of employee feedback we receive. Our HR and management team are embedded in the business and always approachable for any feedback, suggestions and recommendations our employees wish to offer. We try to lead with the best foot forward but pride ourselves on being able to review and reflect and if the course needs re-set, then we will boldly do this - we need to stay competitive in our tough market! Thank you for your feedback and we invite you to reach out with any further thoughts and ideas you would like to share. All the best in your future endeavours and many thanks for your contributions to our fantastic business.
