Pros

You feel good working for a company that is providing a positive service to the world through publishing research and assisting eduction. The atmosphere and support from management is wonderful.

Cons

I can't think of any cons. I miss working there and regret leaving. Publishing as a whole doesn't pay at the higher ends of the range but noone goes into education for the money.

Pros

Great team of co-workers. Industry best publications. Great employee benefits program and overall a great place to work - just need to not let the upper level management in the dam get to you.

Cons

C level out of touch with business unit strategies and needs. Diabolical cost cutting measures with almost continuous hiring freezes or delays that affected product quality.

Pros

The flexi-hours were the best. Also, the summer hours with friday off was also a nice touch. you also are allowed to assume responsibility for your work early on and that is invaluable

Cons

The experience at the office is very much dependent on the manager and the team. I had one very good manager and another manager who was not interested in her team
