Pros

This is the largest STM publisher and as such the overall organization is superior. Some opportunities for career development and training. Benefits are overall satisfactory and a better than average 401k plan.

Cons

There seems to be at least one significant restructuring on an annual basis with little thought on how it will impact employees. Turnover is constant especially at the mid manager level and at the lower level. In my four year tenure, I had four different bosses each with a slightly different agenda and plan. Most folks are out for themselves and there are many cliques and favoritism is rampant. Promotion is not based on merit and many times those elevated into roles are not qualified.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good learning and development opportunities Very commercial/corporate (if that is your sort of thing) - results orientated and very focussed on profits Produces some innovative products and keen to make changes if necessary

Cons

Restructures happen rather too often, leading to nervousness among staff. Very 'top down' management style - decisions can seem somewhat arbitrary
