Pros

Worked with some very interesting, talented people. Great IT department with lots of resources.

Cons

Management has changed over the years, loss of great talent and promoting people who don't fully understand the publishing business. Folks became a bit cutthroat in certain areas of the business and didn't value knowledge over the years rather promoting themselves.
