Pros

Fantastic editorial and development teams. Cutting edge technology. The leaders of the company are bright and are planning for the future. The leaders of the individual groups are conducting business like the business hasn't changed.

Cons

The industry is changing rapidly, and the expectations are the same as when the imprints were competing against one another in an environment that was less hostile in terms of book prices, packages, and aggressive used book websites.
