      Pros

      Wow. There's been a lot of very positive Glassdoor reviews for this company since their HR Dept started panicking about poor reviews earlier this year. Lots of five-star reviews suddenly. Nice work. And the fraction of employees who think the CEO is worthwhile has almost hit 50%.

      Cons

      To quote other recent reviewers: there are no cons. It's just a darn shame that some folk haven't yet recognised how terrifically clever the executive is. I particularly like their focus on [insert strategy here when we think of one].

      How to stifle innovation

      Pros

      Lonely Planet is the best challenge ever - take a strong brand with a history of partnering people on the greatest adventures of their lives and make it work in the technological age. And of course the people who actually write, produce and distribute the content are without fail enthusiastic, intelligent and delightful.

      Cons

      For reasons that may forever be a mystery to me upper management seem to actively dislike software engineers. They have no interest in understanding the work that goes into great tech and demonstrated no trust in the people that build it. The company has had four CTOs in the last two years, the last three of which were fired because the reality of tech innovation they attempted didn't match the delusional expectations of management.
