Pros

Good work-life balance. Still some remnants of the "human being first" ethos. Good people.

Cons

Leadership is disconnected. Too many processes & bureaucracies. Too connected to traditional publishing. Leadership doesn't seem to know how to transform the company.

Pros

Benefits are decent and work-life balance is good.

Cons

There a lot of cons around here these days. What once was a great company is now a shadow of its former self. The reorg was like shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic. Women can pretty much forget about high-level leadership roles.

Pros

The culture WAS wonderful for years - like one big happy family. Great location in Hoboken - lots of restaurants, stores of every kind (except book stores, which was kind of strange), etc. Terrific cafeteria with the best short order cook in the world. Genuinely nice, helpful people.

Cons

When the old leadership team retired, it's like the company just fell apart. They got rid of the woman who had been training for years to replace the old PT president and replaced her with a Steven Smith crony, and the new PT president is awful. What the old PT president spent 25 years working to make the best PT division in publishing, the new guy managed to destroy in two years. Systems are very slow. Several years ago, they made a huge acqusition that was supposed to make things better, but they should have taken that money and updated the systems. They're trying to do that now and they're just not making very much progress, because the economy tanked. If they'd had the systems in place for better online publishing, they could have ridden it out. Compensation for asssistants is well below average.
