Pros

Well paid, but that's part of the trap!

Cons

The attack your personality and employment. They set you up and falsely accuse you of someone else's mistake, or even make up false testimony against you. They can team up against you and do you dirty. But you want the salary. So you confess to what you haven't done. Then they start to blackmail you in any possible way. It can be even sexual. I've managed to gather enough evidence of their harrasments, and currently working on the law aspects to be able to have them published. This might sound unbelievable, but the majority of these people have known one another for ages from Iran. The Chief Editor/New Director/ previously CEO, has a long record of harrasments from Iran and other Media companies in the UK.

Pros

-better than average salary for the same role in the industry. -dynamic and fast-moving company with frequent developments, so exciting for those who want that. -great colleagues on the ground all over the company, with some industry-leading talent.

Cons

-poor department management with lack of understanding of the roles being managed coupled with micro-management. -lack of support in terms of resources, equipment and manpower, in spite of growing list of new responsibilities. Suggestions are almost always refused. -the dynamic, fast-moving nature means that previous developments are often quickly left behind without further review. Creates a sense of a lot of workarounds and talented colleagues papering over definite cracks. -HR team fail at basic confidentiality by sharing content of conversations with the actual individuals being discussed by employees. -large proportion of colleagues having never worked in a live broadcast environment before. -high stress technical departments with a blame culture fostered in the workplace.
