Pros

great people, content and new ideas and projects

Cons

very hierarchical, lack of communication from management. General daily chaos due to lack of boundaries with business requirements. Unstable software platforms create fires which constantly have to be put out.

Pros

- Summer working hours - Office is really nice; free breakfast - Staff are mainly lovely and welcoming and helpful

Cons

- Institutional racism - Major problem with retention rates for POC - Black women especially set up to fail and forced out of the company - Only Black men that worked there were the cleaners - Talented POC staff overworked, underpaid and overlooked for promotion - Queer staff often tokenised - Business profits from books written by queer and POC writers but fails queer and POC staff - Certain departments are all White - Senior management are very cliquey and out-of-touch - Can be really difficult to progress and develop in certain areas (e.g. Business Support) - Pay is low - Workload is unsustainable
