Pros

Ascend has an incredibly inviting, supportive office culture. The training process has been exceptional--I was able to thoroughly familiarize myself with foundational job competencies before moving onto learning other skills. I also enjoy the fact that employees are encouraged to learn about the entire publishing process, rather than only the parts that correlate with their job responsibilities.

Cons

There aren't any cons that come to mind.

Pros

Decent benefits Hybrid WFH schedule Some really great direct managers

Cons

Chaotic and disorganized, with old outdated backend systems. Work performance and output not generally recognized: people who do very little work are often paid the same, or more than people who do double or triple the workload, and are allowed to continue with the company while other shoulder the load. Once you are on a team or part of a BU - good luck making a move to another team or BU. The place is a revolving door for a lot of positions, but once you learn a skillset they are unlikely to allow a move. The sales team runs this place, so be prepared to be bullied constantly by them, even when you are told to gatekeep.
