Pros

- Big business that delivers a lot of success - Hundreds of brands (some better than others) - Great autonomy and trust to deliver on your job - Acquisition strategy means it changes regularly - Fast paced - Supports good ideas that make money - Hybrid working - Multimedia giant with strong reputation in various publishing verticals (huge in tech, games, womens lifestyle, homes etc)

Cons

- Short term thinking makes medium/longer term growth challenging - Risk averse - Margin goals are high = regular cost cutting - Let's too many good people leave - both job cuts and leavers - Fairly thankless environment and culture (which I actually don't mind but many people do) - Websites are borderline unusable
