Pros

I worked at Raconteur for 2.5 years and learnt a lot. I joined as a publishing manager and was promoted to lead publisher after 9 months. The role is very challenging and stressful at times, but also incredibly rewarding. You're constantly encouraged to learn and develop as a person and surrounded by a supportive and collaborative team. It's rare that you get to work in sales teams which are genuinely happy for you when you perform well as it's usually very competitive - but definitely not the case with Raconteur. If you're ambitions, hard working and switched on, you'll love it here

Cons

The progression path could be made clearer across all divisions

Pros

1 - Top class culture - Everyone from the sales teams through to design, production and marketing are collaborative and huge fun. 2 - Independence - This is a company which rewards hard work with strong degree of independence. So long as you are putting in the effort and doing your best, you decide how you work. 3 - Entrepreneurial - it doesn't matter how long you have been in the business your opinion still matters and you can carve out your own destiny to a certain degree (i.e. launching new products, leading internal initiatives etc) 4 - Training - I joined as a Publishing Manager with no experience in B2B sales whatsoever. I was concerned that (a) I would be thrown into the deep end and (b) that I would be joining a 'Wolf of Wallstreet' style sales team. Both couldn't have been further from the truth - there is so much training and support, and this is intelligent sales rather than smashing the phones.

Cons

As a relatively young company it's to be expected, but sometimes internal processes and technology weren't perhaps as strong as they could be.
