Pros

Medical insurance & charity days

Cons

The pay is well below industry standard and there is no meaningful effort to address it. For a company that talks endlessly about valuing its people, the compensation tells a very different story. The culture is entirely performative. Everyone is smiling in meetings while quietly watching their backs. There is a tight-knit clique embedded at every level of management, and if you're not part of it, your progression is effectively capped from day one. Promotions are handed out based on who you know and how much you agree with leadership, not what you actually deliver. To top it off, after normalising flexible and remote working, the company abruptly forced everyone back into the office with little justification and even less notice. It felt less like a business decision and more like a control measure — a way to keep tabs on people rather than trust them to do their jobs.

Pros

Informa has a lot of different opportunities across its vast portfolio if you want to explore different jobs. They have a program to help find you other roles within the company if you are looking for a change.

Cons

The company is not real competitive on salaries and continuously has salary freezes for certain groups with in the organization. We have had very small cost of living raises that are not covering the actual cost of living increase we are all facing.
