Stressful but interesting - Sub-Editor Mediahuis Employee Review

It used to be a great place to work, with great colleagues and space to co-define your work. The salary was also pretty good.

Really bad management, they run around like headless chickens. One day they do this and the next the opposite. From a collaborative environment the working experience is now a death or life situation where you are put in the arena against your colleagues. Your work might get thrown out in a blink over a seriously inferior solution that was not even tested or researched upon. They now terrorize the employees and organize a restructuring to fire people every now and then.

- The people in the actual newsroom are kind and willing to help you grow - Great suppport and interpersonal relations between peers - Collaborative work environment during high-pressure moments - Great opportunities to socialise and for team-building

- Staggering lack of transparency in HR and hiring process (lots of internal conversations happening you're not privy to) - Lack of diversity is never addressed and instead sugarcoated - Few options of career mobility when you're entry level - short and precarious contracts are the norm so there's a lot of people coming and going but some people have somehow been in the same role for the past 30 years - Salaries are low and almost impossible to negotiate
