      Poor culture, bullying, sinking ship

      Pros

      Some nice people, work/life balance is good

      Cons

      Aspects of a bullying culture that were met with denial when called out. People promoted to management with no training or consideration of their people skills, resulting in communication that was patronising and belittling. Everything is done by commitee, no responsibility or chance to develop given. A lot of people bitterly clinging on to their jobs on the Titanic.

      Pros

      Nice Salary and nothing else.

      Cons

      People with 3-4 years of experience in publishing becomes AGM. A production editor becomes Publishing Manager and doing Acquisitions. Favoritism and bootlicking are prevalent here. People with no market knowledge are made managers in the editorial department. No proper emphasis on the development of the book. Just publishing a high number of titles is the goal. Worst company to work for in terms of learning.

      Pros

      Convenient location; interesting products, decent pay and annual bonus.

      Cons

      Your success is dependent on who you are rather than your abilities. No proper training or advancement opportunities are provided, unless you are liked by those above you, and the habit of micro-managing everything is frustrating, stressful and does not matter if, once again, you are not liked. This review is not only due to actual personal experiences, rather that plus observing the environment around me.
