Upper management has no clue what they are doing. The new CEO likes to look up ridiculous studies online that he doesn’t even understand and then forces editorial to cover them. And don’t get me started on his stupid company-wide “inspirational” emails with videos of himself telling us why we have to work harder and longer with no pay raise, and love it while we’re doing it. All the good upper management left when the new CEO entered the picture, and now they are left with “leaders” who have had no or very limited journalism experience who are riding the coattails of their very talented and hardworking worker bees. These worker bees are constantly being given lofty, vague goals with no plan or guidance on how to reach them — because again, the leadership don’t know what they’re doing. There is no consideration for work-life balance or even serious events in your personal life. Don’t count on coming here and finding any support if you need to take any time off for an emergency. If you can’t find your own coverage, sorry, you’ll be working through your emergency. The same goes for vacations. You’ll be bullied into working long hours every day and on weekends. Promotions are completely arbitrary. If you’re the type of person to not complain, keep your head down, and work hard, expecting that your good work should speak for itself, tough luck — you will never get a decent pay raise or promotion. If you are the type to bring up concerns and give constructive feedback, you’ll be told you’re being too negative and should focus on the positives (basically meaning that at least you have a job), and that will be that. People are leaving in droves, because we all know this is a sinking ship. Stay away.

I have worked for this company for about 10 months (far too long). I was hired for my seniority and experience or so I was told. Got a job proposal after 3 interviews (1 face to face) unfortunately actual work had nothing to do with the scope of the role required and absolutely nothing but what we discussed during interview stage with the hiring manager. I guess they were just interested in filling a vacancy. I honestly failed to understand what exactly they do surely they failed to mention. For the first 4/5 months I spent my time trying to understand and adapt. Definitely pointless. No proper induction nor help of any kind. A few points: 1. Bad work environment and non existing company culture 2. Poor and useless induction 3. Outdated process, (political dreadful environment?) no sharing culture, rude back stabbing manners and incompetent people as a result only the most selfish emerge 4. If you tend to have any sort of logic “don’t go in there”, there is none 5. No clear project scope, again maybe none 6. Outdated process (long, old fashioned and uselessly complicated production chain) 7. No retention/track of previous results or/and mistakes hence no improvements 8. No transparency at all 9. Only focus is some sort of shareholders reports 10. Poor and non experienced management 11. The less you know the higher you go In small words “spoiled” environment. Try for your physical and mental health "not to go in there"!
