Pros

salaries and bonuses are generous. Great company events such as the Christmas party and the summer picnic. Lots of fun, interesting people. Good training classes and opportunities for learning and growing.

Cons

Some of the people who have been promoted into management are not always inspiring. They tend to promote micro-managers and then upper management stands behind them no matter what. It eventually drives good employees away. They also have a strange habit of firing talented people for what seems like no reason and announcing that so and so is gone as of today and this is who we are replacing them with (often a friend or favorite of the manager). This has lead to poor morale and a feeling of paranoia among the remaining staff. The Marketing department is also very cliquey. At a marketing/editorial dinner this year, where the two staffs are supposed to get to know each other, a high level Marketing person was observed saving seats so that all the marketing managers would be seated together, thus limiting interaction with the editors. Very strange.

Pros

Benefits, great people. Overall, and from my perspective based on my professional interactions, the leadership is solid and committed for the long haul.

Cons

Sometimes SAGE managers adhere to very strict communication policies. They say there's an open door policy, but at times it feels like they expect everyone to "stay at their level" and communication can be stifled. Because SAGE is a smaller company, opportunities for advancement are generally few and far between. Depending on the job, you may have to change companies to obtain advancement.

Pros

Learn a whole lot about the company and academic publishing. Opportunity for full-time employment if you work through the 1 year internship. Free lunch and casual dress every friday.

Cons

very quiet (somewhat boring) work atmosphere. Everyone communicates through email even if you sit right next to each other. Management is a little strict..
