Pros
- Genuinely lovely and talented colleagues who care about their work. - Flexible working arrangements and a generally good work-life balance. - Working for ITV has a certain appeal and recognition value; people often think it sounds exciting.
Cons
- Senior leadership often feels out of touch with the teams doing the actual work. Many decision makers lack an understanding of the skill sets within their departments, which leads to short-sighted decisions and missed opportunities. - There’s too much focus on pleasing stakeholders and hitting short-term metrics, rather than building sustainable strategies or empowering experts to do what they were hired for. - The culture has shifted over time into more of a “just get it done” environment, which has driven away a lot of good talent. - Communication and transparency from upper management are poor, and at times, the handling of internal matters has been questionable and inconsistent. - Some of the attitudes and comments within certain teams would reflect very badly if made public, suggesting a lack of awareness and accountability at senior levels. - Career progression is minimal, with few to no visible promotion opportunities. Movement within the company tends to be lateral rather than upward, and development support feels inconsistent.
