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’.
