Brilliant people, poor management

Pros

There are some really great people working here, which is the only reason I stayed. The London office is in a good location with shops/pubs etc nearby, and there's an on-site cafe.

Cons

Salary below industry average, poor working atmosphere (they see anyone who doesn't work late as 'slacking'), too many corners are cut in terms of hiring staff to replace those who have left - even if the work still needs to be done. I was offered very little in the way of training and development, and was never sure if promotion was really an option here.

- Confused leadership, one month it's one direction and the next it's something else - Top heavy with management - Tons of talented people without enough resources to do really amazing stuff

Pros

Vacation time (although many scrambled to take it before they lost it b/c of too many accrued days), free basic health plan and good paid option. They play up Friday bagels as a benefit. But I don't buy that. Best was the week b/w christmas and new year's off. Everyone's gone. no guilt.

Cons

Too much information shared among too few people. People are very territorial about what they share with whom. Seems competitive within one's own dept. No delegation. No room for advancement. Company behind in digital initiatives and has had a number of layoffs as a result. Magazines are all silos. No common
