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.

Packt Publishing is a wonderful company for freshers. It's a good bridge from college life to work life, as it eases you into it. The positives are: Fexible shift timing Casual dress code Chilled-out work culture Faster promotions

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

One can maintain a very good work life balance being at Packt and also learn managing ones work. But that can be done in a much better way at some other company as well. This is a Technical publishing company, so if someone is thinking about going here and learning Technical stuff, then this a big no no for a technical editor. Yes highly recommended for someome who wants to be a manager or something as such, and should obviously apply for a project manager....Read More

Dislikes
The company has a very poor pay for the technical editors and even if you work hard, still you cannot earn a promotion within a years time. Earning a promotion will take more than 1 and a half or may be 2 years and even after getting a promotion you wont get a good salary in the end because the company doesn't expect people to stay here for more than a year. Even if you leave no one will try to stop you and its not the right place to be. Yes you can have a good work life balance but what will you do of such work if you cant learn or earn anything. Also none of the other companies accept experiences of this company as this is a publishing company and no web development or app development jobs will consider your experience from here. People try to be professional here but I think people here are BPO sort of employeess. So I dont recommend this company at all for the one's who are looking for a career in the technical field. The word Technical is a scam!...Read More

Can maintain work life balance. A good company for managers and publishers(who are the managers of the normal managers). But I dont recommend going here for a Technical editor role of any role having editor written in it. Go for a managerial role.

Dislikes
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
