Avantages
There used to be some very good people there, and I am sure there still are. Not too many pros. All the good people have left or forced out. They actually had some pretty decent marketing.
Inconvénients
I believe that the management is the worst I have seen in my 20+ years career. They have no vision, do not understand the market, or how to treat customers or employees. There seems to be a sense of entitlement and a lot of blaming others for company's poor performance. Terrible product development, lack of innovation in terms of the products / services PDR sells, and business model are the reasons this company is dying. They often directed us to be deceitful with customers which did not sit well with me being some who values integrity. I tried to leverage my personal relationships to help them get business up to the point when they basically asked me to lie to my customers - I simply cannot do that with anyone, much less friends and former industry colleagues. They could not keep their promises to customers. There were some good ideas, but their inability to deliver made if very difficult to gain repeat business. Instead of being responsive to customer demands (requests), they would find all sorts of excuses instead of simply finding a way. I am a do whatever it takes kind of person, so there was clearly a cultural mismatch. Most of who is left are "hangers on". They are kinda hanging in there because they have no self respect, lack ambition, cannot find anything else, or really want to try to make a difference in the current environment. The business has been suffering for a long time. Like most publishers, they are still in a publishing mindset and trying to find their way in a new digital world. Having PDR on your resume could be a big detriment to you career going forward as it is not a respected company on any level.
