Think carefully - Editorial bei Economist Intelligence Unit: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Exposure to a global brand, smart people, lots of resources

very separate from the editorial side of the business

Intelligent, fun and witty employees and generally a good work/life balance. The brand name is still good for now and attracts some interesting clients to work with.

Management relies too much on the brand name of the Economist to both recruit employees and sell projects. However, only relying on the brand name is not sustainable in the future. Difficult work environment: management is short-sighted, with too much focus on short-term revenue targets and selling projects. Employees have no promotion cycles or tracks, receive little to no mentorship, and do not feel valued. There is no incentive for quality because employees do not get rewarded for good work nor face consequences for bad work. Instead, employees who are efficient and do their jobs well often have to pick up the slack from the rest.
