Pros

Free Books, Great HR, Fun Activities

Cons

If you are a person of color, book publishing is not a holistic environment for you. I've had to deal with multiple racist incidents; management is top-heavy and doesn't reflect the diversity they claim to support. Additionally, S&S is not up-to-date with technology, and with that comes the mindset of top-heavy management who still abide by 1990s corporate mindset (if it worked well in the past, why change anything?) Almost no room for growth unless you are a favorite, meaning you'd have to grovel to get noticed.

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.
