Pros

Office is in nice location

Cons

Worst out of all the publishing houses I’ve worked for. Their business plan is just to spend no money. Salaries are laughable. Lots of middle managers earning a lot whilst those underneath them do all the work. No development. They claim to be transparent with salaries but the pay bands seriously need updating. I urge you to look for roles at Penguin, Harper etc. instead.

Pros

You do get exposure to different parts of publishing, but it often feels overwhelming rather than exciting.

Cons

Limited growth support despite high demands.
