FT Live: Awful, awful, awful and a culture of bullying!

Sales representative

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Incredible brand Excellent editorial and content

Cons

I wouldn’t wish my worst enemy a job at FT Live. They trade off the brand but the delivery is substandard at best. There is a culture of bullying, the leadership team are only interested in managing upwards and the rest of the business are completely disengaged. I would NEVER work for FT Live again even if they quadrupled my pay.
