Pros

Work/life balance - not out of hours expectation Decisions made quickly Social side is active Great new office near Blackfriars

Cons

Poor decision making at the top level - not mature or commercial Some staff (IT and Facilities) stuck in the basement Processes are old fashioned - paper invoices being signed, paper forms for job approvals Not enough accountability given or expected by board management

Pros

Very friendly, market leading, forward-thinking, exciting place to work. Plenty of training and development opportunities. Brilliant new building in Blackfriars.

Cons

Wages are low, especially in junior positions. It is quite white middle class, although I believe there are plans to change this.

A focused company with a few old fashioned traits

Business Outlook

Pros

- Passionate, caring, driven colleagues - Great office - facilities good, wow factor views from the roof terrace, nice cafe and lots of meeting room space - Pay review each July and bonuses at the end of the year help boost the coffers!

Cons

- Old fashioned at times - the same people don't tend to move from the same seats and an bit of an old boys network going on (Oxbridge types dominate!) - Tricky to get promoted - Not much cross working between departments - Hodder Education will have absolutely nothing to do with Orion, for example
