Pros

They now own some of the biggest UK media brands

Cons

They seem to hate their brands and the people who make them. Would rather jump out of a window than invest in their own products. Management changes everything every six months. Staff churn is huge. Very frustrating and depressing place to work, unless you’re one of the grossly overpaid executives
