good colleagues, nice office, interesting industry

Cons

expectation that staff will keep working harder & longer for no extra reward has been turned into just another clinical corporate company

Maybe good for really young inexperienced people?

Pros

young environment, fun, some good content, some big thinkers

Cons

It's been awhile since I'v been there but my sense is that they don't attract high profile, really smart management--which trickles down.

Future has been a brilliant place to work, now needs to emerge reinvigorated from large restructure / redundancy plan

Pros

It's always been like a huge (albeit now smaller) family. There's always been a strong culture of togetherness and socialising among 'shop floor' employees. New board must ensure that new reality of downsized company maintains that. Bath is a great city to be part of.

Cons

Like all media companies with a strong reliance on print, it's tough to keep revenues up in a declining market. Attempts to find a profitable alternative have foundered so far hence sales of some well-loved titles. There is new senior management in place which is yet to prove it has the answer, although one could apply that to most media companies in this digital world.
