HarperCollins reviews

Bureaucratic. Your work isn't valued and colleagues in finance are generally unhappy to be there. Not only do they fail to foster an inclusive environment fit for growth, incompetent managers belittle you and refuse to properly give training. The company itself is riddled with problems. I reported my abusive manager to HR and was gaslighted and was instead to told to "manage up" and that I needed to disclose any medical conditions.

Since March 2020, while there has been plenty of lip service paid to allowing flexibility to all staff, especially parents, that support quickly dried up. Despite multiple conversations with my manager about workload, and how I just physically cannot get everything done because I won't sacrifice more time with my kid, the response is a shrug and "you have to do what you have to do." This summer we were denied summer Fridays - something that was standard while we were in the office and would have been a nice sign of normalcy - or at least not the massive hit to morale the announcement was. Working on massive, massive, profit generating titles doesn't even merit a 'thank you' from management, let alone a bonus or raise in salary.
