Pros

- Welcoming, fun and positive culture - No micromanagement - you're always treated like an adult and left to get on with things - Interesting and varied work, creativity is really valued - Lots of opportunities for recognition - Flexible working with only one mandatory day in the office and good health/holiday/travel benefits

Cons

As mentioned in previous reviews, there is quite a boozy culture which can feel hard to get to grips with if you're more introverted or don't drink. However this never feels mandatory or forced on you and there are loads of socials that aren't based around drinking. No worse than other media companies! No pay rises in 2023, while understandable given the wider context, is demotivating

Pros

The people really make this company great. You are given permission to be your full self at work which is refreshing. There are regular events organised by Diversity and Inclusion champions to promote inclusivity within the company as well as a great focus on employee wellbeing. Has a comprehensive benefits package with excellent support for all staff

Cons

The company has grown very quickly, and has almost been a victim of its own success. Some processes are a little outdated and need to be refined, but management are taking all the appropriate steps to resolve this
