Pros

The work was varied, challenging and interesting. Lots of opportunities to learn new things and grow as a professional. Pay was at par with the biggest publishers and perks were decent, including private health insurance, bonus and share options. The publications division was remote-first, offering flexibility. My manager was supportive and fair and the team was very cooperative. Lots of trainings and workshops.

Cons

Unfortunately, the division is perpetually short staffed and have high attrition rates. As a result work pressure is relentless and stressful.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
