Pros

Nice offices but these are falling into disrepair

Cons

Where to start….this company has become a joke and tries to say all the right things like being committed to diversity and then cuts the most diverse teams! They hire people that stay for 5 minutes and make little impact. Unfortunately the current CEO has made poor decisions consistently which has led to Hachette becoming a company that repeats the same slogans but without any substance. If you have another offer then go there
