I'd say there are more than a' few people who are very talented and genuinely nice'.
PEI isn't known in the market for its 'corporate brand'. It is know by its market-facing information brands and market leading events. Readers and event participants see those brands to be smart, connected, engaged and informative.
We don't take for granted that the qualities were known for arise because of the talented people who make it happen. And anyone 'making it happen' in editorial, research/analytics, marketing, event creation or a sales function at PEI knows we don't work alone - cross collaboration, co-ordination and working together is what gets it done.
Working at PEI isn't for everyone - I get that. We've high ambitions and we expect to work hard. I don't claim that we get everything right - but we're getting better at lots of stuff all the time.
So its a shame you didn't have a good time before you left. I don't know who you are, or why that was - but I would have welcomed this feedback whilst you were here. The Management is not half as distant or self-satisfied as you seem to have imagined.
You know my contact details if you think I've got that wrong - and I would sincerely welcome the connection.
