Business Outlook

Pros

Plenty of employee support, hybrid office/home working for those that want it. Non London offices so you don't have to move there to work for a big publisher.

Cons

No option to be 100% home based working.

Great company, lovely people - but low pay across the industry, and career progression remains a bit opaque

Senior commissioning editor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people who are all really motivated; great mission; genuinely believe in bringing as many different stories to as many people as possible; lots of opportunity to take ownership and expand experience.

Cons

Lack of understanding of digital; lots of opportunity for taking ownership but not always recognised by job title/appreciation; large company, so hard to change culture; low pay across the sector (but ok if you're in it for the mission).
