Guardian Media Group Reviews

Pros

Dream job on a mission to ensure liberal news is available to all. GMG has so much amazing stuff going on in the background. Really open and transparent culture so you find out about all the projects. Work of The Guardian is vital and must be protected at all costs. Worked there while David Pemsel was the CEO, great guy really open and friendly, as well as the other C-suite. I left only due to a selfish pursuit to advance my career as there isn't much progression but the culture at The Guardian is unmatched.

Cons

GMG has had to become more commercial, which sadly means less friend to socialists. Flash hired rather than internal promotion.

Pros

Great brand, great culture, great location and working environment

Cons

Poor pay, insulting commission, distant leadership who didn't listen to staff

Pros

Best for original investigative journalism and culture content (RIP: The Guide).

Cons

Pitches really depend on relationship with editor (and their mood that day). But that's normal. Not the highest rates, but respectable. Diversity could be better - lots of middle class voices dominate, but again, that's the demo.
