      The people make the place. But HR is a shambles.

      Pros

      The people are lovely. Everyone wants to help each other rather than compete with each other. It's a collaborative and fun culture. It's a huge pro and the main reason people stay so long.

      Cons

      Career progression is non-existent. And mixed messages from HR - one minute there are salary bands for each role, next minute there aren't. There is also a huge disparity between male and female salaries. And the way men and women are treated in general. Men tend to get noticed more within the business. Internal comms and IT were also frustrating issues. Almost no confidentiality. Not sure if this came from HR department or elsewhere.

      Pros

      - Summer working hours - Office is really nice; free breakfast - Staff are mainly lovely and welcoming and helpful

      Cons

      - Institutional racism - Major problem with retention rates for POC - Black women especially set up to fail and forced out of the company - Only Black men that worked there were the cleaners - Talented POC staff overworked, underpaid and overlooked for promotion - Queer staff often tokenised - Business profits from books written by queer and POC writers but fails queer and POC staff - Certain departments are all White - Senior management are very cliquey and out-of-touch - Can be really difficult to progress and develop in certain areas (e.g. Business Support) - Pay is low - Workload is unsustainable
