Pros

At one point, JoVE had an excellent work culture with achievable deadlines and targets. The upper management did not interfere in the day to day tasks or activities of each employee and the managers had full accountability and authority over their teams. But it is not the same anymore.

Cons

With time, the upper management has started interfering more and more with day to day activities of employees in each department, giving unrealistic goals and targets. It is beyond micromanagement...more like nanomanagement. Senior or mid-senior level employees have no say in the processes or workflow. If anyone objects to any idea or decision made by upper management, you are thrown out of the company. No empathy or loyalty towards employees even who have worked with the company for more than a decade. The CEO has no vision for the company and its all downhill from here.

Pros

Every minute spent here felt like a harsh lesson. One of the clearest lessons was realizing how much work life balance had been taken for granted.

Cons

. The workloads are brutally excessive and completely draining. . Employees are constantly expected to complete far too much work in far too little time. . Work life balance is treated like a joke and is not respected at any level. . Personal boundaries are routinely ignored with constant pressure to take on more and more work. . The demands feel never ending with no real relief or pause.
