Pros

work environment/atmosphere is good, but due to the comparable average age of workforce and similar educational backgrounds. No credit goes to the company and the management.

Cons

Been working for the organization for almost 2.5 years now in the Editorial services department. Have seen the number of the team grow significantly. There is no shortage of sycophants, politics, prejudice and favoritism. So, eventually, undeserving candidates with minimal caliber have assumed leadership roles in this department. Because the managers themselves prefer favoritism. But this isnt even the worse part. The company will spend a fortune on infrastructure but sadly the compensation is continually bad. the organisation focuses on cosmetics but not the employees. My advice is not to join unless you are ok to working on low compensation.

Pros

-Great cafeteria for lunch with very affordable prices -Central location -Good training options which is great for entry level staff/for your first publishing job. -Good work-life balance

Cons

-Low pay for the industry. Some staff on just £18k which is appalling for the amount of work they do and does not cover London living costs. -Progression not discussed clearly. Many staff members leaving to seek external opportunities. -Very obvious divide between managers and entry level staff. Managers would socialize with drinks after work and not invite or even chat to 'lower' staff during the working day. Assistants and Execs were also made to sit separately from managers and weren't included in discussions and were often left off of mailing lists. -Low morale as there is a very high staff turnover and long gaps between an employee leaving and their replacement's first day on the job. -Poor benefits for low paid staff. Many are unobtainable because Flexfund does not cover enough.
