Pros

Excellent pay. Overtime if that's what you want - you have to do it anyway (get paid for it). Excellent location

Cons

The software we've built is beyond rubbish! Ancient technologies & non-working methodologies. Demo day once a week - an entire boring day, just pretending that you listen at what people have to say. Management is beyond ancient, long before the days of "waterfall". Micromanangement. Work is so boring and unfullfilling. There is no worse job in the world than this job.

Pros

- Opportunities to travel to shows are fun (though selection process for those chosen not clear, and not as often as promised in the interview process) - Most satisfaction out of working with external partners related to Reed

Cons

- Without a doubt, worst company I have worked for in my 30 year professional career - Warned against people in my first week, yet their bullying, passive aggressive behaviour seems to be tolerated - Wonder why shows are failing when nothing changes year-on-year ... have not moved with technology, market and audience expectations - Unnecessary hierarchy and ineffective, non-inspiring management - People talk AT you rather than try and have a conversation - Would not know innovation if it struck them in the face - Underpaid. Promised a salary review after six months, given a letter in a sealed envelope with no accompanying conversation. A whole $150 extra A YEAR. So laughable.

Pros

Good hours. Friendly enough people, depending on the group you work in Nice location. Easy work.

Cons

Working on various projects on the software infrastructure of the company. Staffed 90% by contractors that had been here for 2-3 years without any evidence of delivery. Most contractors seem to be just going through the motions, not complaining too much to make sure they keep getting paid. Atmosphere of mediocrity. Blame culture is big - very defensive. Tendancy of management to hire experienced PMs, BAs, Technicians but not listen to their advice. No project management methodology. Staff hiding behind constant 'deadlines / panic' as an excuse for not doing a good job and consistently missing deadlines.
