      Bad Culture at HarperCollins Australia

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Work with well known authors and big brands. A lot of opportunity for social events. There are some highpoints but these quickly pale when the reality of the company kicks in

      Cons

      Clicky, extremely political, a lot of pointless work, huge workload expectations, some bullying, illogical decision making at a senior level. The workplace is sometimes manipulated to boost the under-performing news divisions of NewsCorp. The lack of knowledge at a senior level is truly bewildering and terrifying.

      Pros

      Fun work and environment. Good location. Got some perks. Support from some managers. Easy moves to different departments.

      Cons

      Leadership is untrained. Favouritism and jobs keep getting bigger for bad publishing pay.

      Had potential but was a strange, political, poorly-paid environment.

      Pros

      Some nice people, good authors & titles, nice location.

      Cons

      Political. Some people, despite being rubbish at their job, get promoted and helped out enormously, while others slog away at their poorly-paid jobs wondering if they even want to stay in the industry.
