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 !

The Team Culture is great. Working alongside the team is so smooth. Everyone has a innovative mindset to figure out the problems considering everyone's opinion.
Dislikes
There isn't much to complain. The work may scale as much so could not be the most challenging environment although I am being a critic while saying this.

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 amount of work and salary are not justified.
