How employees describe working at Penske Media Corporation
The team successfully executes Modern leadership model with a clear strategic plan, always bringing onboard top talent people for the speedy success of the company.
Overall, I would not recommend this company. There is no work-life balance, teams are understaffed in every department, and communication across departments is unorganized and chaotic. Wages are low compared to industry standards. Expectation to work nights and weekends.

Overall a typical media dompany - creative inclusive dempcratiic and many othwe positives associated with publishing - not always informed on company vision or overall goals
