Pluspunten

- Some excellent products with rich content and search capabilities - Fair compensation and benefits - Some truly knowledgeable and capable staff - Restructuring has removed some obstacles to change - Technology and infrastructure is being improved

Minpunten

- All online publishing companies are struggling with difficult economic circumstances - The company is still not quick enough to respond to change required - The company fails to retain exceptional staff, not solely due to lack of reward - Cutting roles has left many departments thinly spread with high workloads - Staff can be divided into three categories: Those that are not self-seeking managers wishing to advance their careers by associating themselves with the efforts of others Those that have worked there so long and not participated in the above 'career-progression' who are largely only interested in picking up their pay check. (They usually perform a vital role but are not valued therefore the whole company suffers) Those that have recently joined the company who have not yet become one of the above.

Pluspunten

The place is super flexible and everyone I ever met there seems great to work with. Ok I can think of two exceptions, but that was a big building. The meetings were the least painful meetings I have ever had to attend.

Minpunten

The pay could have been better. The structure was constantly changing but I think I happened to be there at a bad time as far as restructuring.

Pluspunten

Decent work life balance, great coworkers

Minpunten

Little room for advancement - 1 actual promotion and 2 “lateral” promotions in 10 years despite consistent exemplary, goal-exceeding performance and increased responsibilities. Ultimately my loyalty was rewarded by being informed that the following quarter there would be a surprise transfer to move me to another team in a specialist role that “was not open to discussion.” After weeks of trying to get answers as to the expectations and success metrics for this (alleged) new role, I was laid off as part of a “restructuring” - supposedly because I “lacked seniority” in the “new role” I’d been forced to take.
