Positive atmosphere, interesting coworkers, great early gig in book publishing
Pros
I met a bunch of interesting and friendly people here. I definitely benefited from the mentorship offered by my boss, who had a few one on one meetings with me outside of the office to explicitly offer career advice and guidance, even though I worked less than 20 hours each week for a few months total. He even helped prep me for interviews for full time positions. Another editor took me out to lunch just to connect and get to know me; really great opportunities to develop a publishing network here. My job was temporary and highly independent, but everyone was supportive and professional about it.
Cons
I moved on because I wanted full time work and more pay, but that's just my career stage and qualms with book publishing in general. From what I've seen this is a great, very interesting publishing house.
