Pros

Great Benefits package Relaxed/ laid back work atmosphere--no one breathing over your shoulder to get things done. My managers had confidence in my ability to perform the job I was hired to do so every task was not micro-managed.

Cons

Horrible salary During the layoffs I was removed from my original department and placed in another which was a demotion of sorts since it took me off of the career path I intended on. I soon found another opportunity at another publishing house which was a promotion from my original position.

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.
