The best thing is the work culture of the company and flexible timing. And if you are fortunate then the the best team members and colleagues to work with to help and motivate you in the company.

Dislikes

There is no job security anytime anyone can leave or be removed. The growth of salary and career is quite slow which can be worked on.

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.

Welcome to the Packt, things start smoothly over here as you are in the training period it's your honeymoon period over here. As you get used to the work culture, you will be exploited totally on bases of promotion, to be precise then it's just 15% hike. You will find the best environment over here and flex timing, here most of the crowd is of youngster ranging from 22 to 26 for this role. If you looking ahead for studies this is the best place to work, as here you won't be able to develop your skills, as you will be working on the same task every day...Read More

It depends on the experience, let's make it simpler by explaining most of the issues that are been faced by the executive: 1) Salary not up to the mark 2) If you get used to the surrounding it will be difficult to move on 3) It's a dating place, I'm serious you will find many instances as its full of enthusiastic and young people 4)If you move out of this role, It's quite difficult to find a job 5) Growth not up to the mark, until you get involved yourself in to dirty politics...Read More

I've been doing great, I have not faced that many issues. As been tenured it pays me back by a good amount of WFH and other leverage.
