A conglomerate trying hard to be progressive

Pros

They do try to improve on diversity and inclusion, and other important issues that the publishing industry notoriously was not good about.

Cons

At the end of the day they are a conglomerate with the main goal of making as much money as possible and absorbing smaller publishers in the industry as possible. That does play out in the books they acquire, even if they do a good job of portraying otherwise.
