Pros
Highly intelligent workforce that is very much motivated by the nature of the work - providing students with educational tools that inspire them to love learning and excite them to reach for the top. I found this element of working at MHE to be inspirational to me! Well-run meetings in my department - no meeting lasts more than 1 hour, unless it is an actual working meeting.
Cons
Even after the McGraw-Hill split, there remains a fear to try new things or try things differently. MHE tends to be conservative when it comes to innovation. Human Resources has lost its two-fold focus: help management meet business objectives and ensure employees receive are treated civilly and that each staff member has the right to grow and advance within MHE. Now, it appears that the focus is only on helping management meet business objectives. Perhaps, HR needs new blood. It's sad that MHE is solidifying its reputation as being unable to be flexible and to reach out past its competitors to build the most robust, validated curricula for all students.
