Minpunten
Top management are stuck in the dark ages of the British monarchy, and that trickles downward to poison the entire company culture. They do not know employees outside of upper management exist, and want nothing to do with the masses. They care about numbers and numbers alone, and have no interest in investing to improve the quality of products or the quality of life for employees. Starting salaries are borderline illegal ($30-35K US) and the only way to advance is to take on more and more work that is outside of your immediate job description to get bonuses. Eventually the workload becomes impossible and you reach a ceiling (usually just before $100K), unless they want to bring you over to the business side, which is reserved only for those (men) with whom upper management relate on a personal level (i.e. in the bar, and preferably someone they can tell lewd jokes to without repercussions). Feedback is dismissed, and HR does not advocate for employees at all. Career growth is nil on the editorial side, and long-time employees are grossly undervalued. They will tell you to your face there is no money so no raise, and then you'll find out an hour later that your male colleagues got a few grand. Annual cost of living increases are nonexistent. I could go on for pages, but the moral is - get the experience and travel for a couple of years if you like, but then get the hell out. DOCUMENT EVERYTHING while you're there.
