Fantastic Team - Contracts Manager Reed Business Information Employee Review

Smart people, innovative, strong vision.

Nothing significant comes to mind.

RBI in the past has offered a really good benefits package - a decent selection of health converage plans that include medical, dental and vision; three weeks vacation after two years, and full investment in 401K plan after three years, with the company matching up to 6% of employee contributions (if I recall correctly).

Right now it is suffering like most trade publications, following the trend of magazines and the overall economy. There is a hiring freeze, and there were two separate rounds of layoffs so far in 2009. I think the culture and the environment vary according to which office you work in, and who your manager and co-workers are. Each publication or group of publications can be different. I started out with a manager who had a pretty bad reputation (I only worked with her briefly) but ended up with a great manager before I left.
