Pros

Some great people, shame they aren't treated well

Cons

I've never worked at a company where there is such a gulf between the management team and the rest of the employees, or where the turnover of staff is so huge. Everybody is planning their exit. The culture is toxic. The management team have little to no experience/knowledge in the products - both media and events - and instead just blame and belittle well-meaning and hard-working members of staff. If they didn't lock themselves away they'd know they are openly criticised by a very unhappy workforce. A few great brands but even the events, some of which have been very successful, are now going downhill because they're trying to milk them for all they're worth rather than deliver real value.

Pros

Used to be great brands. Still some smart individuals working there.

Cons

Where to start... from the top-down, the C-level executives have destroyed nearly every good thing about the brands they have purchased. They have no care for employees and make sure you know that you're nothing but an expense to them; one that they would cut as soon as they could to save a few bucks. The share price is down 75%+ in ONE year, and there has been massive staff turnover in all of the brands, most of which are voluntary exits. This all breeds a toxic and depressing environment for employees. Most have given up and are just doing what they can until they find something else. It is sad that once great brands are now under the umbrella of such a mismanaged company. If things continue as they have been, I would be shocked if they make it another year before having to sell the business.

Pros

If you brown-nose Simon (CEO) you are ok

Cons

- no proper processes for internal reviews etc - favoritism - No training and development - Editorial team (information Age) has no ambition and the publication has turned into pure Pay to Play - One big arm of the business is their Diversity portfolio and the publication for it has a briliant Editor, but the events are only money motivated and the diversity that is claimed to be championed is only and only to make money
