Pros

The benifit is okay. Employee has stock option with 15% discount (maximum $1000 a month). Flexible working time is allowed for some department.

Cons

Most people work in small cubicles, even for some managers. Growth space is limited for some people.Too much office politics.

Pros

Fantastic editorial and development teams. Cutting edge technology. The leaders of the company are bright and are planning for the future. The leaders of the individual groups are conducting business like the business hasn't changed.

Cons

The industry is changing rapidly, and the expectations are the same as when the imprints were competing against one another in an environment that was less hostile in terms of book prices, packages, and aggressive used book websites.
