Penguin Random House reviews

like most places they want you to work hard with little reward. theres no incentive for doing well. someone who works hard is given the same as someone who does nothing. They have a zero tolerance policy but do not abide by it. It is a mentally and physically draining job. its very consistent and can be boring standing in one spot all day

The wider Penguin Random House UK board and particularly the UK CEO seem uninterested in discussing/improving diversity and inclusion, they often mention there's a problem without making staff engaged in meaningful work they can implement such as targets on acquiring books by writers from underrepresented backgrounds - it's often left to the commissioning editors from similar backgrounds to acquire these books. There also needs to be wider discussions across all divisions that involves all staff.
