That’s great mix of praise and constructive criticism – thank you for taking the time to write. We are glad that you enjoyed working with our colleagues and that you have appreciated good work/life balance Ink provides. As far as cons go, we wanted to update you to say that we have restructured many of our day to day actions to tackle the issues that you have raised. We have invested in several projects, training and development and other associated human resource practices, which have, in turn, led us to experience lower turnover rates and increased performance and engagement.

Why bother

Pros

Great colleagues and free wine, thanks. Simon Leslie's comical emails (and I don't mean funny)

Cons

Let's play a game..... What is professionalism? What makes good management? What is a fair rate of pay? If you don't know the answer to any of these questions you'd be great at Ink!

You raised some really interesting points here. Firstly, let’s not forget that Ink is the global market leader in travel media – something we have all worked very hard for. Secondly, many things have changed since you wrote your review - Let’s just leave it there as at this point, as we have a clear vision and global business strategy going forward.

Pros

-Opportunities to work with some of the best people you could hope to work with in various areas of the company -A truly great product set that every employee will admit to being proud to be associated with -Genuinely being a market leader in airline magazines -Beautiful new office in West Hampstead

Cons

-Generally extremely chaotic, priorities can change at the drop of a hat -Occasionally challenging to the point of farce -Approaches from senior management that range from micro-management to apathy and non-commitment -A lack of investment and/or realism in a number of recent projects -Turnover of sales staff is often quite high -Deterioration of social culture which is now almost non-existent
