      Pros

      Lots of internal training, guest speakers and seminars. You feel encouraged to lend a voice across different departments. Smart people. And fabulous titles, brands and authors to work with.

      Cons

      Salaries are low. Communication between departments can be a little slow. I think HC is working hard to bring about greater diversity across staff and publishing, and hopefully more people with disabilities can pierce this industry too.

      Pros

      Good, smart, and kind coworkers; interesting books; and solid team spirit.

      Cons

      No care whatsoever about employees from higher ups. Horrible pay. The entire company tries to convince you that because it's a "passion" job, you should be willing to starve/struggle to pay your rent/not pay off the student loans you took just to get this job...which is ridiculous. Whoever is reading this: you deserve better. The DEI initiatives are a joke, too--they really just don't care about BIPOC authors or employees and are unwilling to put their money where their mouth is.
