Pros
Initial salary is appealing to graduates (this quickly stops being a pro compared to what you can earn in the same industry in different companies).
Cons
After spending a significant amount of time in another company, I still feel compelled to outline the very negative aspects of Content Guru - it has had a hugely negative impact on my confidence, I’m fortunate my new company have worked hard to support me to rebuild myself. To name a few: 1. Toxic culture - from the top to the bottom of the company, the individuals (particularly ‘leadership’) instilled an old fashioned, non-trusting, micromanaging, ‘boys club’ culture. This being the biggest issue, and I don’t foresee the company ever changing its ways. 2. Incredibly non-diverse company. 90% of employees are young to middle age white men, many with the stereotypical attitudes to match. 3. No real HR team, consideration for it’s colleagues or people strategy implemented. 4. Unethical processes and way of running a business 5. Few individuals outlined as ‘golden’ - these individuals (across departments) are offered additional opportunities - not necessarily deservedly. Unless you fit this category, you will not see yourself or career progress.
