Vantaggi
Editorially, Debtwire is a great place to work as a journalist. You'll be rewarded for your time at the company and promotions often, if not always, happen internally. There is a big push for staff retention. Good IT infrastructure after being acquired by ION Analytics. Ambitious management.
Svantaggi
Bonuses. Last year they were delayed by a month. This year, they are being delayed by two months, if not more, with no communication from HR or management. It makes managing your finances quite stressful when the company insists such a big chunk of your overall compensation comes as a bonus. CEO on Ion Analytics. We never hear or see anything from him. Almost mythical status. Management is pushing for a return to the office 4-5 days a week. Read up about ION Analytics online. Billions of dollars of debt, and bonuses often get delayed because of it. Hands off approach to management, which can be good for some. For more junior staff, it can be a sink-or-swim culture. Excessive non-compete clauses. 6-month non-compete against other news organisations. Poverty inducing. Minimal HR team. 1-2 people in HR for the whole company. If you need anything doing from them it takes a lot of time as they're overstretched. Hiring can often be slow and needs approval from the CEO personally, which can take up to six months.
