Great colleagues, awful management - Anonymous employee Aller Media Employee Review

Excellent pay, opportunity to use modern tech

Your voice does not matter. Critical thinking is disregarded

I was part of a great team responsible for maintaining the company’s news website. The collaboration, respect, and openness within the team were outstanding. We trusted each other, gave and received constructive feedback (especially from my direct manager), and created a supportive work environment where people helped each other grow. My immediate team and manager were definitely a highlight of my experience.

The challenges mostly stemmed from the top-level management. The overall company direction often felt unclear, and strategic goals shifted frequently without much explanation. Promises — particularly around organizational improvements — were not followed through, and priorities seemed to change regularly. As a result, it was difficult to feel secure about the future. There was a persistent sense of uncertainty, which made it hard to plan ahead or feel confident about job stability.
