Pros

Central London office and some nice facilities

Cons

1. Unsociable employees 2. Lack of collaboration across teams 3. Inconsistent and unfair expectations of attendance of working in the office for various members of staff (less senior, the more unfair) 4. Poor leadership from the top down 5. Disgruntled middle management 6. Unfair content expectations 7. The worst egos seem to succeed here 8. No training (whatsoever) 9. No community/teamwork feel 10. You will be pigeonholed 11. Toxic environment 12. Lack of empathy for any personal issues going on at that time in your life 13. Has very little care for your personal well being, you are just a tiny little screw in a well oiled evil machine 14. You will be shown no appreciation for any hard work or any above and beyond behaviour at this company - the expectations are insanely unrealistic and you are a piece of dirt to them, especially if you work in editorial 15. The editorial team has no say in the greater good of the company 16. You are not listened to

Pros

You do meet amazing people who are good at what they do!

Cons

It's your typical: "we care about our employees" and show the exact opposite kind of company. They will disregard you and truthfully do not care. Leadership has been hearing the same feedback for years and don't change their initiatives. All of the low reviews are here for a reason so listen to them. Compensation is awful as mentioned, benefits are just alright.
