Pros

Salary and benefits competitive; depending on department and function, many opportunities exist to gain skills and experience. As with most large organizations, many subcultures exist. Finding a good department and a good manager can lead to a satisfying job and positive work environment.

Cons

Publishing is still very much an industry in transition, which of course leads to a double-edged sword of exciting possibilities as well as uncertainty and change. Certainly not for the faint of heart, and finding a department and team where you have good co-workers and managers is essential.

Pros

A majority of the employees' friendly attitude make this a casual and fun working environment. The employee benefits are reasonable.

Cons

Opportunity for advancement is scarce unless you're willing to relocate. Different departments follow different rules set by each department supervisor; employees not treated equally.
