Pros

Despite recent and ongoing issues at a senior management level, there are still great people who love Lonely Planet.

Cons

Lonely Planet has lost it's way. The company no longer cares about people and driving down costs continues to be the aim of the game. Teams and budgets are being cut so thin that achieving revenue growth is becoming impossible. People are being setup to fail by senior management with targets that can't be met. People that have stuck it out this long should think about moving on.

Pros

Talented developers with excellent skills.

Cons

Horrid leadership that has a very passive and non-caring approach to the overall structure of the team. Absolutely the worst product team leader I've met to date. Totally not there for the right reasons and talked about their life after work, what they did with their big paycheck, Across the development team there was a severe issue being too top heavy. There were way way too many cooks in the kitchen that were never ever on the same page an then they put the blame on all the worker bees.
