Pros

Free books, great name for CV

Cons

Incredibly cliquey. Not just class ridden but still a chasm between former Penguin and Random House staff. No diversity. Abusive and spineless management. A lot of lip service given to being progressive but there’s absolutely no actions behind the ‘intention’.

Pros

Great writing, Top tier production

Cons

The male director never asked me once how I was doing or offer any advice to calm my nerves (on my first production ever with them) which lead to a burdensome recording process.
