Pros

Reed Exhibitions is considered a leading exhibition organizer worldwide.

Cons

The Hong Kong branch has been losing money for years. The Hong Kong branch management couldn't secure proper corporate resources to support the smooth business operations, i.e. super slow internet speed for years, corporate IT security setting would block the website of Reed's own trade show. Serious internal political struggles between team heads, extremely unfriendly and non-supportive environment. Personal attack and humiliation to junior staff.

Pros

Major FTSE 100 company with good benefits. Liked many of the staff and really liked my team

Cons

As with many big companies communication within divisions of RX is hard, but, within Reed Elsevier, in practice it was deliberately blocked by tiers of senior management worried about why they didn't know much about Elsevier and its amazing reputation. Full of career specialist furiously delegating work down. Computers were old as was the software installed.
