Pros

The work was interesting at times, and it was pretty sociable

Cons

- AWFUL pay. - Very archaic view of having to be in the office all the time, no opportunity to work from home and have the flexibility most other companies offer nowadays. - No managerial structure. Didn't receive a single performance review or even a proper probation meeting, and I worked at the company for nearly 2 years. - Very questionable individuals working at the company. - The culture is laughable most times, with one man at director level, basically sleeping with other employees. - The editorial team think they're celebrities, it was actually hilarious. - Some of the things I heard in the office were very questionable, and things that shouldn't be allowed to be said in a workplace environment. The environment was extremely unprofessional.

Pros

Always someone to drink with and in general people are quite young in sales and marketing

Cons

Too many office bullies that they can’t seem to get rid off. They make your life miserable and you’re scared to go in their room. Anyone good leaves pretty fast when they realise it’s toxic
