Pros

There used to be many pros. In the last 2 years all of them have disappeared thanks to petty thinking, incompetence and self serving attitude of the CEO

Cons

Toxic atmosphere where for the last 2 years many sincere, loyal, hard working and very competent employees have been asked to leave to save the CEO and CBO's jobs as they have no clue how to run this company and anyone who cares about the company and voices their concern is asked to leave immediately. The company prides itself on expelling good people. Almost everyone who was good has either left or been asked to leave and now only the most incompetent people who are licking up to the CEO are left behind. They have been looking to hire Sales people for the last 1 and a half years and no one good is willing to join the company. Many people have taken offers but when they found out the ugly truth about the company, they refused to join. If you join, you will be asked to leave within 8-10 months as and when they need to blame someone to save their own jobs. It is a case study for how not to run a company. Some poor people who are still stuck there are desperately looking for jobs and leave the office crying everyday. The editors have become puppets after the Chief Editor was forced to leave. They have no choice but to do what they are told and keep quiet about it even if they don't believe in it. People are being forced to write positive glass door reviews and those are the only 2-3 positive reviews you will see written by poor people against their will. People have also been told if they write negative reviews on glass door, their identities will be revealed and they will have to suffer consequences. The leadership lacks the basic fundamentals of the business. The only little money that is coming in is from what they call custom events where you collect some CTOs, entertain them with good food, alcohol, music etc and try to sell IT products to them. It does not make any sense for a company like NewsCorp to do this kind of dubious business. There is no strategy here.

Pros

The only pro at the time of joining was that it had a good name.

Cons

This list won't end so i will get to the main cons which are those heading the organisation. Archna Shukla, who is the worst editor anyone can have the misfortune to work with and Neeta Kapoor, the most clueless CEO who thinks she's running a PR firm instead of a news media organisation. While Archana's sole purpose is to plan and plot against her employees her need to do so stems from her terribly insecurities as an editor. Let alone the fact that she is a horrible journalist she knows deep down that she has no knowledge of the field and always feels others are onto her. Her main Modus Operandi is to call people individually to her cabin and instigate one against the other. Her desperation reeks of her own insecurities. The only persons running the place without whom it would fall like a pack of cards are Vivek and Sumit. The whole office knows she knows nothing, can barely type her own mails replete with grammatical errors. It's a miracle she made it to such a position, how she even got this role despite the fact that she was asked to leave from Mint, is beyond anyone's comprehension.

Pros

If you know how to manage “Managers” ( you know what I mean) you are a Winner always. Managers are not leaders Leaders are totally misleading. Some don’t even know their own work well. Now you know why to join this company! Keep few people from Management Happy ( and their own people) and your life is sorted. Nobody will ask you questions. You know you have their back. Even if you do blunders and frauds around. You will be saved. Overnight promotions is one of the perks. Hard work is a foolish thing around.

Cons

- They play with your career - They have no interest in your passion for work - They will never try to build trust across employees, instead they will try to create much fear and henceforth you will be forced to resign. - The managers will start planning your exit even before you would have thought of. - Exit if an employee is planned and plotted much before they are even told about their performance. - The worst are the Management people. they will never take an unbiased decision. They have no spine. The decisions are channelled so well via ceo. - Some have their own interests in exit of previous employees.
