Pros

HarperCollins Publishers had very fair hours and a good work-life balance. Most people were friendly and the overall culture was nice.

Cons

Everything is micro-managed in some way; a very big top-down organization; the company holds people back from promotions and raises very often

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.
