Pros

Fast-paced work environment Structured work schedule on the features desk Room to suggest new story ideas, some managers particularly invested in helping employees to develop. Well-located in Camden market which promotes creativity and interaction with the community

Cons

Too much power given to middle management, micromanagement of day to day issues lead to lowered efficiency. Tight budgets affect the kind of local stories reported Certain resistance to experimenting with story ideas The control room centred transmission model means that the employees in MCR's level of comittment (or lack thereof) determines how much you can get done in a day in terms of booking FTP slot

Pros

You get to work with lovely people, some of which are brilliant.

Cons

This is an organization where relationships often matter more than results. Advancement tends to favor visibility and proximity over impact, which can make the path forward feel less about contribution and more about navigation. HR and People functions appear heavily resourced on paper, yet those teams are frequently stretched thin, creating the impression of care without the corresponding capacity to deliver it meaningfully. Each year brings another cycle of organizational reshuffling that can feel at odds with the stated focus on employee experience and development. Learning and development exists, but its purpose is sometimes unclear, as day-to-day work life has grown more complicated rather than more supported compared to prior years. There is a noticeable gap between the language used around innovation and data driven decision making and the organization’s appetite for actual change. The culture often speaks in aspirational terms while operating in familiar patterns. For employees who value transparency, consistency, and progress over rhetoric, this can be frustrating. The result is a workplace that talks about transformation but remains largely committed to the status quo.
