      Pros

      Good benefits package and vacation days, free books, people are generally great.

      Cons

      Pretty cliquey, HR is a joke, continuous lay-offs since I've worked there, often workload is split between remaining team members, advancement is difficult.

      Pros

      Great benefits, supportive culture, interesting work, professional development, great location. HR is always interested in retaining good employees, so it's easy to move into new areas of the company and develop new skills

      Cons

      Though PRH salary is very competitive compared with other publishing companies, it still is hard to live in New York at entry-level salaries. Also, the company is fairly decentralized, so training and knowledge sharing is siloed and inconsistent across divisions.
