Pros

An excellent opportunity for early-career professionals to gain insight into the publishing and media industry, particularly in understanding how the sector is evolving in response to emerging technologies such as AI.

Cons

Compensation remains below industry standards, and advancement opportunities often appear to be driven more by internal favoritism than by measurable contributions to business growth or revenue performance. Leadership—particularly at the Director of Marketing level—often seemed disconnected from the core marketing team, prioritizing directives from other departments. As a result, key marketing initiatives were frequently delayed due to our dependence on the tech team for essential functionality and access to critical data.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts from our New York office. We have a great team; our purpose and culture continue to be 'stand out' and some of the reasons so many colleagues stay with us longer term. We are collaborative and progressive and everyday we contribute to learnings for generations to come.

Thank you for sharing your review. We kicked off our second Career Growth Week so far this year with a focus on feedback which underpins growth at every level. Alongside the flagship sessions, colleagues took part in a wide range of virtual events across the week. These included popular sessions like building skills through feedback, Forward Talk, AI-powered feedback, “expert” careers and mentoring panels, the Facilitation Marathon, and a LinkedIn personal branding workshop, as well as practical learning through the Level up: boost your skills and Talent Attraction sessions. Perhaps look out for the next one which will be in a few months time. Colleague development is core to our organisation.
