Pros

Fantastic benefits; fun, casual work atmosphere; entry level salary is higher than at comparable firms. Flexible work hours, and strong sense of unity among editorial units.

Cons

Raises are hard to come by, and promotions are even more difficult. Instead of being promoted for doing good work, you have to hope the department head asks for a "new position" and then you can apply for it - against the other eight EAs in your division. Different departments (editorial, production, accounting) butt heads frequently.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts from our New York office. We have a great team; our purpose and culture continue to be 'stand out' and some of the reasons so many colleagues stay with us longer term. We are collaborative and progressive and everyday we contribute to learnings for generations to come.

Thank you for sharing your review. We kicked off our second Career Growth Week so far this year with a focus on feedback which underpins growth at every level. Alongside the flagship sessions, colleagues took part in a wide range of virtual events across the week. These included popular sessions like building skills through feedback, Forward Talk, AI-powered feedback, “expert” careers and mentoring panels, the Facilitation Marathon, and a LinkedIn personal branding workshop, as well as practical learning through the Level up: boost your skills and Talent Attraction sessions. Perhaps look out for the next one which will be in a few months time. Colleague development is core to our organisation.
