Pros
- Some excellent products with rich content and search capabilities - Fair compensation and benefits - Some truly knowledgeable and capable staff - Restructuring has removed some obstacles to change - Technology and infrastructure is being improved
Cons
- All online publishing companies are struggling with difficult economic circumstances - The company is still not quick enough to respond to change required - The company fails to retain exceptional staff, not solely due to lack of reward - Cutting roles has left many departments thinly spread with high workloads - Staff can be divided into three categories: Those that are not self-seeking managers wishing to advance their careers by associating themselves with the efforts of others Those that have worked there so long and not participated in the above 'career-progression' who are largely only interested in picking up their pay check. (They usually perform a vital role but are not valued therefore the whole company suffers) Those that have recently joined the company who have not yet become one of the above.
