Vantaggi
Working for Raconteur was exciting, intense, challenging, but overall... enormously enjoyable. I began life as a Publishing Manager before being promoted to a Lead Publisher. With a background in more traditional sales & business development, I loved my time in the special reports division - combining core elements of commercial acumen and intellectual stimulation. The atmosphere is young, vibrant and energetic. Full of smart, ambitious people - driven by success, but equally up for a beer or three on a Thursday evening.
Svantaggi
As the work is cyclical (i.e. typically working on 7-8 week projects) there can be intense periods with a lot of hard work required. Training and support is offered throughout, but the best publishers learn to grab the bull by the horns/take responsibility for their own destiny early in their career.
