Pros

There are occasional opportunities to work on interesting projects, especially if you are proactive and willing to create structure where none exists.

Cons

If you are interested in organisational culture, this is a fascinating live case study in the difference between external branding and internal employee experience. The gap between how the company describes itself and how employee experience can feel internally, is not subtle in my experience. Over time, it made me understand that corporate branding can be very sophisticated, while the lived culture remains inconsistent, reactive, and far more dependent on individual goodwill than any organisation of this size should be comfortable admitting.

Pros

Decent benefits, nice co-workers, some international travel, and modern offices. I loved having unlimited sick time but never abused it.

Cons

This is thoroughly a British company. All key leadership is in the U.K., and they rarely visit American offices. This company is notoriously cheap and cost cutting always wins the day. All U.S. offices are simple satellites to the U.K. corporate offices. Let’s be real, if you are a U.S. employee, don’t expect to be paid well, don’t expect a decent raise, don’t expect development nor advancement, and do not expect the C-suite or division leaders to listen nor care. You are a cog in a machine which is designed to facilitate the offering of low quality information products and services to the U.S. market as a way to soak up as much public and private dollars as possible.
