Pros

work environment/atmosphere is good, but due to the comparable average age of workforce and similar educational backgrounds. No credit goes to the company and the management.

Cons

Been working for the organization for almost 2.5 years now in the Editorial services department. Have seen the number of the team grow significantly. There is no shortage of sycophants, politics, prejudice and favoritism. So, eventually, undeserving candidates with minimal caliber have assumed leadership roles in this department. Because the managers themselves prefer favoritism. But this isnt even the worse part. The company will spend a fortune on infrastructure but sadly the compensation is continually bad. the organisation focuses on cosmetics but not the employees. My advice is not to join unless you are ok to working on low compensation.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts from our New York office. We have a great team; our purpose and culture continue to be 'stand out' and some of the reasons so many colleagues stay with us longer term. We are collaborative and progressive and everyday we contribute to learnings for generations to come.

Thank you for sharing your review. We kicked off our second Career Growth Week so far this year with a focus on feedback which underpins growth at every level. Alongside the flagship sessions, colleagues took part in a wide range of virtual events across the week. These included popular sessions like building skills through feedback, Forward Talk, AI-powered feedback, “expert” careers and mentoring panels, the Facilitation Marathon, and a LinkedIn personal branding workshop, as well as practical learning through the Level up: boost your skills and Talent Attraction sessions. Perhaps look out for the next one which will be in a few months time. Colleague development is core to our organisation.
