None that I can see

Minpunten

The IT department is run by a bunch of incompetent corrupt managers who are all friends and have worked with each other for years at other companies. Their main project is strategic to the company and these people aren't capable of delivering anything. The project is millions over budget, years late and no sign of being delivered. The company will die if it doesn't happen. Managers seem to think bawling and swearing at colleagues in meetings is good management. In particular, the engineering and devops managers are abusive, obstructive and rude who have driven many skilled people away - there's a good reason for that. The CTO is aware of the abuse and doesn't care. Many of us left scathing reports with HR and the CEO - again, nothing was done. Avoid like the plague. The company doesn't have a future while these people run things.

Pluspunten

Lots of genuinely fun and interesting people to work with, albeit the post-Covid increase in working from home saw that aspect diminish. HR improved towards the end of my time there and has likely improved further in the four years since. Good opportunities to learn and gain experience in various different aspects of print and digital media.

Minpunten

Pay is poor for hours put in. Not disastrous but towards the bottom end of what you expect from a serious print publication. Diminishing focus on quality as company turned focus from its own publications to supplying content for other sites. Serious lack of focus on career development. A culture of 'give an inch, take a mile' from management. The more work you produced (under increasing stress to do so) the more the result was: 'they can handle that much work - let's give load them up with more'. If payment and/or bonuses reflected effort put in; fine. But this was not the case.
