Simon & Schuster

Is this your company?

Nice place to start your career in publishing, but don't stay more than a couple years. - Publicity Simon & Schuster Employee Review

Pros

Many different types of books and lots of fantastic authors. The S&S name is well-respected, so people will listen to what you are selling.

Cons

Can be very cliquey. Opinions of those not in the clique are often ignored until spoken again by someone who is in that clique. Backstabbing. I found out after I left that there were people in my department deliberately sabotaging my work.

Pros

Great benefits, good leadership within imprints, incredible flexibility with office vs. hybrid.

Cons

Communication between higher ups rarely makes its way down and the goals of a team are often not said explicitly, making one feel unsure of what's valued most.
