Pros

- Open and honest culture - A social place with friendly colleagues, most are willing to lend a hand when you need it - Strong values and motivating vision: a focus on improving healthcare - Interesting products - The opportunity for every staff member to be heard: the CEO had a meeting with everyone to gain feedback when he moved into the role last year.

Cons

- Some politics and longer standing members of staff sometimes not as ready to adapt to change and new ways of working - It's not a huge team so workloads can be big at times

Thank you for taking the time to offer feedback . It is encouraging to know that there are many things about working for the BMJ that made for a positive experience. We also welcome ideas on areas to focus on to make it an even better place to work, so once again thank you. Wishing you luck and success for the future

The worst nightmare ever!

Pros

None unless one likes working for jerks.

Cons

Decisions, careers, individual progress are either encouraged or hindered based on Managers' personal agenda. No merits or skills are taken into account. Most of the people who have been at BMA/BMJ are referrals/friends/spouses of board's members. Anybody who's outside that circle will have a very tough time fitting in, and be sure to have a very hard life proving your worth, skills etc... HR is a true joke and a mere decoration. The culture resembles the old Colonial Empire attempt to take over the rest of the primitive world.

One of the worst

Pros

I really liked the on-site cafeteria.

Cons

One of the worst cultures I have seen. Bullying is 100% normal and acceptable at BMJ. Managers have no idea how to work with others let alone how to manage people. Regardless of what they tell you please do not ever make suggestions or disagree with someone as it is very dangerous and unacceptable at BMJ.

Dear reviewer -this is very disappointing to know your time at BMJ was one of dissatisfaction with the Management and Culture. Due to the anonymity of these reviews it is difficult to respond in any other way than to say we are sorry that your time at BMJ was not a positive one. I am unaware of the circumstances that lead to you leaving us but hope that you were able to get support through our various confidential and safe employee engagement or assistance professionals in the absence of you feeling like you could talk to your manager or another colleague. We wish you the very best for your future and thank you for your honest feedback
