Some positives but also fundamental problems

Pros

- The company is a great example of how to get remote work right. I very rarely felt that I missed out by not being in an office-based or hybrid company. - The vast majority of staff are friendly, professional and well-meaning. People go out of their way to help each other. - A healthy approach to work-life balance. - Generally ok-to-good salaries and benefits for the industry (despite recent low pay rises).

Cons

This company has a lot of problems and unfortunately I don't see how it will overcome them. - As far as I can tell, the senior leadership and managers are mostly inexperienced in the publishing industry and at running a fairly large company. They also micromanage to a really surprising degree, meaning senior leadership over-rule and undermine more experienced/knowledgeable team members or generally get involved in tasks and decisions you wouldn't expect them to. - This company does not seem to do long-term strategy or planning. This means each year (or more frequently) a whole new set of targets appear that often have little to do with last year's (and sometimes directly contradict them). There is then huge momentum towards these targets and often insufficient review of their success or ongoing relevance. - Completely unrealistic deadlines at times, and a general seeming addiction to chaos or inability to avoid it.

Thank you for your thoughts about work-life balance - our employees' wellbeing is really important to us. Responding to a fast-changing market means that our strategy must remain agile. A lot of thought and planning goes into all of our strategies and targets, which are set in collaboration with each team head or manager. We will take your feedback on board and consider how we can communicate this process even more clearly to all employees.
