Packt Publishing Reviews

Likes

Flexible timings is something that's amazing about Packt. You get to work from home as well.

Dislikes

If you work at Packt you won't have a personal life. You'll be forced to work day and night. The work distribution is very bad, some people have very little work and some have alot of work. Honestly, if you are unlucky, you'll get the worst team and alot of work.

The company is falling apart and the restructuring process is an absolute disaster and joke. Senior management has spoken to be completely clueless and incompetence is trickling down, making everyone suffer. Specially those of at the lower level who actually work hard. All the employees were asked to rely for their jobs, but to be honest, this process is joke. Favouritism and buttering is the only thing keeping people in this company it doesn’t matter if you are a top of farmer hitting over hundred percent of your targets every month or if you just got promoted to level three after months of hard work, none of that counts decisions are based purely on personal relationship and who has been buttering up to the top level, managers and leaders performance results and contributions completely ignored. The people who were selected are same and been hanging around for 5 to 7 years in the company, cozying up to the leadership and building personal relationship. Meanwhile, those who actually deliver results and drive, the company forward are being thrown out without a second thought. It’s insulting and demoralising. This isn’t restructuring it’s sabotage the company is aimlessly stumbling forward with no strategy. No vision, no accountability and no respect for the people who have been putting in the work. If this is how things are going to be run. Why should anyone even bothering trying?...Read More

The only good thing about the company is that they have remote working culture.

Dislikes

Where do I even start? The company is going through a restructuring process and the way top management is handling everything is not good. We were asked to reapply for our jobs recently. The Editorial Director himself doesn’t know anything about the editors and ended up laying off a few people giving silly reasons. He is extremely biased and unprofessional who holds grudges against people and entertains those who butter him up. Currently, the company is clueless on how to handle things and moving ahead aimlessly....Read More

Remote work is only good thing about working here.

The company is in shambles, and the restructuring process is nothing short of chaotic and farcical. Senior management appears completely out of touch, and their incompetence is cascading downward. Those at non-management level, who genuinely worked hard are affected badly. We were asked to reapply for our existing positions but the process is blatantly flawed and lacks credibility. As per their recent changes, I applied for multiple openings and submitted my assessments with pure studies and through analysis, but upper management dismissed all applications with silly reasons. Favoritism is the only criteria here for a retention. It does not matter if you consistently achieve over 100% targets or if you got your promotion through months of hard work. Decisions are being made purely on the basis of personal relationships and who has ingratiated themselves with top-level managers and leaders, with no regard for performance, results, or actual contributions. Personally, I know a Publishing Manager from one of the top performing team who never signed a single project contract in a entire year and yet is still safe and secured another product level position. How absurd is that? Another example, a Project Manager with over 6 years in managing and publishing experience was replaced by a incompetent Production Manager who hold experience only in designs and layouts. The retained people are the same individuals who have spent 10+ years nurturing personal relationships with leadership, while those driving real results and progress for the company are being dismissed without hesitation. It is deeply insulting. The company is floundering without strategy, vision, accountability, or respect for employees who have been its backbone. I honestly doubt that this company would exist in coming 5-6 months,...Read More

It is a good place to stick for a maximum of 1 year. It provides a startup culture in an established business which has its own set of pros and cons. There are some good mentors if you are lucky enough to find a chance to work with them.

Dislikes

The organisation has a lot of instability. There are constant restructurings in the company. You'd notice a tremendous amount of favourism in the company where merit plays very little role. It would be incredibly lucky if you find good mentors. There are no hikes on performance. The hikes would only be given if you are promoted.
