Pros
Prestigious company and interesting journals. Other departments are generally very happy and have friendly staff. Childcare vouchers available and contributory pension scheme. Christmas party is good.
Cons
They hire graduates yet provide awful training, which results in a very poor probation success rate. There is little career progression available within the editorial sector unless you have a Ph.D., as this is a requirement of the editorial roles. Therefore, as a B.Sc. graduate, it is impossible to progress from a copy editor to an editor. The management is very disorganised yet tries to be very controlling. Very inflexible with working hours, which is unusual for London. Very high staff turnover as people generally do not work as copy editors for very long.
