Pros

Great co-workers, lots of intelligence, vibrancy and humor in the workplace. Constant stream of engaging work on big bestselling books.

Cons

Workplace revolved around favoritism. Certain people made more vertical moves than others, and the employee turnover was surprisingly high. Lots of people expressed discontent at the length of time it took to receive promotions they felt were long overdue, at least compared to other publishing houses.

Pros

Fully remote with all necessary tech provided, weekday schedule, great benefits, good leadership, small close-knit teams, generous PTO in addition to paid holidays

Cons

Base salary could be better but is offset with benefits package. Employee retention is high (a huge plus IMO) butcould limit upward mobility if you're looking for it.
