Pros

Good, smart, and kind coworkers; interesting books; and solid team spirit.

Cons

No care whatsoever about employees from higher ups. Horrible pay. The entire company tries to convince you that because it's a "passion" job, you should be willing to starve/struggle to pay your rent/not pay off the student loans you took just to get this job...which is ridiculous. Whoever is reading this: you deserve better. The DEI initiatives are a joke, too--they really just don't care about BIPOC authors or employees and are unwilling to put their money where their mouth is.
