Pros

Being the industry leader comes with benefits, like having lots of bestsellers and great authors. Those translate into fantastic benefits for employees, like generous vacation policy, flex time, etc.

Cons

It's a big publishing company, so you have to really go for what you want or risk getting edged out. There is little room for coasting. And don't expect a lot of transparency.
