Pros

Relatively flexible and responsive when needed

Cons

Pay for most reporters is below the London Living Wage and there are limited growth opportunities. They are currently undergoing lots of redundancies. They have hired a lot of people to come in with dubious job titles who are aimlessly obsessed with AI and approaching strategy in a very confusing way. The rest of the company seems pretty happy but the editorial department suffers a serious lack of energy, ideas, and management talent. The publications write for a highly-specialised audience and want 'experts' but exclusively hire graduates on paltry wages. It's tolerable for a short period or to get a foot in the door, but it's not a proper newsroom and there's no real commitment to journalism. It's a private equity-backed company which has just undergone a merger with a similar US company, so its interests are 100% corporate. Unfortunately over the past year there has been more and more AI slop and poor quality work. Not the journalists' fault, it's what management has pushed. Would not recommend.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review – we really appreciate the feedback. We’re sorry to hear you feel this way about pay and progression. Just to clarify, all of our London-based office roles are aligned with or above the London Living Wage, which was reviewed as part of our most recent pay review cycle. We do recognise though that the business has been going through a period of change, including some restructuring and investment in new areas. We know this can feel uncertain at times, and we’re continuing to work on making our direction and decision making clearer for everyone. It’s great to hear that you’ve experienced the team as flexible and responsive – that’s something we’re really proud of and want to keep building on. Thanks again for sharing your perspective, and we wish you all the best for the future.
