Business Outlook

Pros

I had some lovely colleagues. The Canary Wharf office had a great view.

Cons

Reach is simply obsessed with its short-term reports to shareholders. As such they made endless rounds of redundancies, causing non-stop anxiety for staff. The workloads are intense and there is not enough time to do what everyone want into journalism for: to report meaningful news and untold stories.
