Pros

A decent enough place to start your career as a graduate, you'll learn some good skills if you manage to stick it out. There's no dress code, which is nice.

Cons

Terrible salary - pretty much anything below top team level pays awfully. The morale of the office is awful, no one really wants to be there and as such don't give it their all. There's a massive blame culture, especially in the Mumbai office, so nothing actually gets resolved it is instead sent on a spiralling stream of emails.

Pros

People are supportive. You'll get to learn a lot. Time flexibility. Everyone will do their help best to help you out if you're stuck with something.

Cons

Can't think of a con as of now

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review on Packt. It's fantastic when you see a 5 star review and no negative comments. I did just want to highlight the 4 stars on both benefits and compensation and career opportunities. Firstly on the benefits, we are currently working on some ideas that have been put forward to us in our survey we conducted by the team and will have an update on these soon. For the career progression element the team have been working non stop to allow everyone here at Packt to take a career review meeting and gain valuable feedback and discussions around the next steps and how we can support you going forward. Please make sure you check out the page on the intranet and book yourself in for a Packt career review so we can help support you in your career with us. It's also great to see the positive nature of team members within Packt and how you have been supported and everyone is there to help you even in the most challenging situations. Finally its great to see your positive comment on flexibility. Here at Packt we know that this is what makes a great working environment for our team members. Thank you for your review.

Pros

There are no pros as of now, maybe other people had better experience but I didn’t

Cons

The timelines are insane The editors are not editors, they don’t check the material, they just push everything as fast as possible, missing a lot in the quality
