Requires growth

Pros

- Does textbook publishing well. Has kept ahead of much larger competitors through innovative instruction and design of printed materials. - Has niche in market cornered. Has seen growth year over year for many, many years. - Some leaders are real rockstar quality. Some leaders show a real focused attitude towards problem solving and person-to-person management.

Cons

- Across the organization people are adverse to change and are not flexible. New ideas are met with skepticism and shock. - Owner has not kept up with wider world of technological advancement or management. While company has been successful in its small niche, it is one technological disruption away from folding. - Recruitment strategy is non-existant. Teams grow in departments that are already large while others desperately need support. - Senior leadership often seems to be fighting each other leading to big decisions remaining left unmade until the last moment, meaning that those that work for them are left to pick up the slack.

Brilliant, passionate people, still figuring out how to become a technology company

Pros

* Genuinely unique, high quality products. Lots of exciting technology and opportunities you'd normally have to go to an enormous company to get. * Diverse workplace. Racial and cultural diversity company-wide is high, tech team actually has lots of women on it. Not a standard techie culture -- way more pleasant. * People are passionate and invested in their work. The company is actually pretty small, but takes on a lot of big projects, and this attracts brilliant people. * New CEO is very reasonable, and has quickly taken steps to address some of the major issues holding the company back. * Profitable company (which is rare in publishing) that actually gives bonuses and has resources to expand.

Cons

* Privately owned company that will always be somewhat beholden to the whims of the owner. * Struggling to integrate old-school publishing culture with modern tech needs.
