Mixed Blessings

Senior content developer

Pros

Can work with talented, dedicated people on occasion.

Cons

Pay scale not in line with rest of industry and experienced, knowledgable people are constantly let go or forced to retired to make up for economic shortfalls as less talented individuals ascend within the company. Overall, company seems directionless.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. I am happy to hear that you had the opportunity to work with some talented and dedicated individuals. Regarding career development and advancement, this is an area that we have invested deeply in over the past year. Year-to-date, we have had over 10% of our workforce receive an in-line promotion and have also had 200+ employees find additional lateral and upward advancement via openly posted roles. Regarding compensation, our HR department closely analyzes the market to offer competitive, equitable compensation programs that recognize and reward strong performance. However, we recognize that we are not perfect, which is why we value your feedback. I wish you the best in your next endeavors. Best, Michelle Bonomini, VP, Total Rewards & HR Operations

Good to build up experience but impossible to stay - a very frustrating place to work long-term

Content developer
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Good place to get experience for early career content professionals The content itself that you work can be very interesting and rewarding Potentiall to learn a lot about non-technical job skills, relationship management, conflict resolution, author management etc.

Cons

Rivals the public service for lack of meritocracy and complete non-sensical proceses. Poor remuneration and career progression (although this may have changed) Having to manage up almost all the time Management has limited understanding of how content development works and why it matters, very sales focused Poor support for lower-level staff
