No work life balance. Micromanagement! Worst management

Worse managers! no worklife balance. Micromanagement. Too much of internal politics within the team because of the manager which hinders the growth of the company!

The only advantage working at Packt is flexi working hours, self learning and opportunity to work with skilled external entities like authors , tech reviewers etc.
Dislikes
There are no career or growth prospects for experienced professionals. Meager pay and unskilled Managers who have never worked with any IT company (including the senior management). Ironically the company neither uses any IT tools for research nor employs skilled IT professionals despite being a knowledge solution provider for the IT industry. That is another reason why managers at any level do not welcome innovative ideas to help improve systems or self learning systems....Read More

It is said that people work for people in any organization. The attrition rate is quite high which validates the above fact because there are no such managers at any level who can provide sensible guidance to executives. Earns you enough to pay bills !
