Pros

Some of the best brands and books in the world - so inspiring to be part of that great publishing.

Cons

A lot going on so people are sometimes stretched very thin. There's a lot of hierarchy as it's a big company, can feel hard to have a profile.

Pros

As with any large company, it was clear they had tremendous resources to work with. In the marketing dept especially, they had solid budgets and a repertoire of popular authors to work with. Friendly environment.

Cons

Not a lot of interest in changing the system, reliance on previous methods of doing things. A very established, corporate-heavy culture.
