Good place to work, but leadership is fragmented

Pros

-for editorial staff, access and visibility to heavyweights in the niche you serve -able to interact with and learn from senior leaders in your publishing unit -very respectable benefits package, including profit-sharing -relatively small, autonomous publishing units make it possible for individual contributors to make a big impact

Cons

-potentially very heavy workload, depending on the publishing unit -accountability isn't flexible the same way job duties are -effectively no face-to-face access to support staff, since they are based at corporate headquarters -disruptive changes in the way people consume content has made the publishing industry more challenging and uncertain

Pros

Wide variety of titles and events in its global portfolio. Leader in various sectors. Work in print and online media.

Cons

Aging company with very poor development opportunities within the business. If you're under 40, you're talked to as if you're a child. When there are changes in the business, there is minimal support to assist with the transition. Poor holiday allowance.
