Pros

None, the Martech division is a terrible place to work.

Cons

There is a terrible toxic culture in the Martech division that has been routinely ignored by senior management. If you want to work somewhere to be belittled, ignored and undermined on a daily basis then join this company. I was forced to exit due to the impact on my personal well being and I am not the only one...

Pros

Good workmates at many sites

Cons

Management make bad decisions and then blame frontline workers when traffic goes in the toilet. HR will ignore you or say whatever they think you want to hear but make no useful change. Layoffs around every corner. Editorial teams have little control over what gets advertised or pushed on their sites, so sponsored content takes over and alienates longtime readers, slowly killing the audience that keeps the sites alive. Management shut down sites and shuffle teams around without giving staff any say.
