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 overall culture of the company is good. Employees are helpful and the HRBP personnel do pay attention to employee problems. As a publishing firm, Packt is a good place to learn the nitty-gritties of the publishing and eLearning industry. Luckily, I was blessed with the best team and managers in the beginning. There are great learning opportunities if you are ready to take the ownership and show probable interest. Good place to learn stakeholder management and you get to learn to deal with stern authors....Read More

Dislikes

The first and foremost thing that will be a challenge while working here is Job security and Employment Stability. The layoffs are so often that after a point of time either you stop worrying about them or only start focusing on 'Would I have a job tomorrow?' For my entire time at Packt, there was not even a single month where I didnot hear that they have laid off employees. The second thing that is of high concern is the compensation offered. You might start with a decent salary, but keep in mind that there are high chances that you would be working on the same salary for the next 2-3 years. The company has no annual increment policy. You would only get a meager increment if and when you get promoted. Now, this leads to a third problem, where you cannot expect a promotion or even apply for one until you have completed 12 months in the organization. That too after 12 months, the actual promotion procedure completes in somewhat 6-10 months. So basically, you can expect yourself to be working on the basic compensation for at least 2 years. The company has no loyalty toward its employees. Your career might show an upward trajectory, but in terms of higher designation, growth, and compensation you will always be stagnant. Apart from this, there is a very strange policy of changing teams and designations, and every time you go through any of these changes you will have to face a probation period. This constant change brings you back to a place where you started from, waiting for 12 months again for a promotion or increment. As an organization, I will never recommend anyone to work here....Read More
