Pros

The author and books that the company attract are high profile and exciting to be involved with. They will often be in the best seller charts which makes it satisfying to be involved with them

Cons

There is always a sense that your position is insecure. This runs from top to bottom of the company. This makes is hard to stay motivated as you worry that you might be out next week.

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.
