      Pros

      It's always been like a huge (albeit now smaller) family. There's always been a strong culture of togetherness and socialising among 'shop floor' employees. New board must ensure that new reality of downsized company maintains that. Bath is a great city to be part of.

      Cons

      Like all media companies with a strong reliance on print, it's tough to keep revenues up in a declining market. Attempts to find a profitable alternative have foundered so far hence sales of some well-loved titles. There is new senior management in place which is yet to prove it has the answer, although one could apply that to most media companies in this digital world.

      Pros

      - Everyone is super engaged with their work - Teams meet and share their progress regularly - Remote work that respects your timezone

      Cons

      - Unbearable amounts of micromanagement - Questionable journalistic ethics, e.g. "reviewing" products that have merely been unboxed and photographed, as well as excessive AI authorship - Extremely misleading work expectations — was told in interviews that I would be working on one story per day, resigned when I was expected to handle more than 15 in a week - Very reluctant to grant PTO or sick days — work "missed" while off is expected to be made up for twofold, and I was told at one point while sick with the stomach flu to "get over it" and "just work on 'easy' stuff today"
