      Pros

      - Best bunch of people i've ever worked with - supportive, friendly, passionate about their jobs - Management who actually listen to you and act on feedback - Loads of social activities outside work - Job is varied, creative and interesting - Room to grow: I was promoted just over a year after I started into a new role that was created around my skillset - promoting internally is a real staple of company culture - Nice office - Good salary - Company is growing steadily and there are lots of exciting developments for the future

      Cons

      I honestly don't have any beyond the normal cons of literally any job.

      Pros

      - Colleagues are an incredible bunch of people and you're likely to form genuine friendships with that go beyond the office! - The product while not revolutionary, is put together in a way which makes it truly unique in the marketplace and has allowed Raconteur to thrive in a difficult period within print media. - Ambitious and adaptive people can expect to be rewarded for their hard work both monetarily and with opportunities to grow and move up within the company. - You will be expected to speak credibly with incredibly senior individuals in industries you may have only begun to research, this learning curve while challenging makes it incredibly satisfying to become knowledgeable on important business topics and current events. - The satisfaction that comes with knowing your work will be in one of the most prestigious news outlets in the UK and the amazing portfolio of work you are able to put together as a result. - Great corporate culture, lots of opportunities to mingle with your colleagues after work hours with drinks/meals/events/clubs/volunteering/etc - No micro-management, you are left to do your work but colleagues and superiors are always ready to help should you need it.

      Cons

      - There is nowhere to hide when things aren't going well as you are 100% responsible for managing your project. - Lots of late nights particularly when under pressure/deadlines - Company is extremely picky about who they bring in, not really a con from their perspective but as a candidate it could be quite disheartening. - Some people don't like to cold call and while it isn't a majority of the job by any stretch, you cannot be afraid to pick up the phone!
