Penguin Random House reviews

It's easy to get overlooked in such a big company, if you don't have a good supportive manager. There's a definite change in culture among management and upper management, who don't know or have forgotten what it is like to live in small apartments in the city while they tend to live outside the city - during the pandemic it seemed they weren't aware that while managers often had home offices, lower level employees would quite possibly have to work from atop their beds in studio apartments. The company is also overwhelmingly white and diversity initiatives move painfully slow, and company culture is quick to offer kudos for any small steps but hesitant to recognize missteps. Its also easy to feel left out of the loop if you don't like going for drinks.

Hiring and promotions have almost stopped the past few months because of COVID, and many of us are simultaneously struggling with the state of the world due to an international health crisis and doing two jobs for no extra pay. PRH needs to keep in mind their employees' mental health and well-being. It's not fair to make employees suffer during any already stressful time.
