Pros

Talented colleagues, exposure to different departments, 2 day WFO policy.

Cons

My main issues with this company are: 1) yearly hikes are around 5-10% on top of the very entry level salaries. They also cut bonuses when they feel like. Salaries are low compared to the workload which keeps increasing with tenure. 2) There are hardly any trainings or talent development for people in their entry level positions. Most people stay in the same role for 3-6 years. 3) Highly apathetic upper management - not receptive to feedback or struggles of the team. 4) Hardly any diversity in the pune office. Upper management are all men (publishing industry things?!) while editorial dept. has a majority of women. Mostly local punekars.

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.
