      Pros

      Smart people, excellent vacation package in terms of # of days, decent pay if you ask for it, opportunities to travel

      Cons

      Disjointed communication between London and US offices (Hong Kong office may as well not exist), Too many cooks in the kitchen in editorial, General air of arrogance and mistrust from the London editors and management is unacceptable

      PEI is leading provider of specialist market coverage and analysis for alternative asset class investors and fund managers. Given the velocity of capital into these asset classes and the characteristics of the firms and individuals who lead the superlative growth in these investment markets, we recognise that our editorial remit is highly challenging. If you found a mundane low paying financial news reporting job here, I don't know where in our group that was. We've more than eighty folks in NY., MD. and CA as well as other locations across the US, proud of the quality of our market coverage and excited to be part of a fast growing, editorially-driven company. Best wishes in your next role. Tim McLoughlin CEO.

      Great place to get your start – but underpaid relative to other B2Bs

      Pros

      I'd recommend PEI to any reporter looking to break into financial news. You'll get great grounding in a business and good contacts, and your writing will improve. Much better work-life balance than almost any newsroom, with strong boundaries between work and home, and good PTO. Some opportunities for advancement and for travel, depending on your team. Editorial as a whole is becoming more innovative, with good redesigns and more multimedia emphasis. Results of corporate investment in the company are clear in the technology, if not in salaries. For editors, the company does allow some relocations. More than many B2B shops, there's a clearer line between editorial and the rest of the company, which leads to strong editorial output and a willingness to tackle important and tough subjects.

      Cons

      After a few years, most reporters (and editors) seem to plateau in terms of their knowledge base and ability to think innovatively. The company's parental leave wasn't great - and when I was there, many newsrooms were increasing parental leave for all genders. There are very few women in editorial leadership globally, particularly women with kids, a big concern of mine that management seemed unwilling to listen to. Pay, at least for great performers in the newsroom, doesn't track with similar financial B2B publications in NYC, including the FT's trade mags, Institutional Investor, etc. That's another concern that higher levels wrote off, and a major reason for departures. Some editors don't seem to take career advancement seriously - they don't do half yearly one-on-ones about career progress, goal setting, etc.
