      Some groups are great to work in, others are very stressful

      Pros

      Overall, a good company that has good intentions. Working in the NY office is nice with the open stairway and cafeteria. Really great people and many who have been there 10, 15, 20 years which says a lot about a company.

      Cons

      In some departments the management is a bit crazy. Lots of last-minute change in direction and desperate attempts to do something different just to prove to the shareholders that they are trying something new. Pay is low as is typical in the publishing industry.

      Pros

      Soho location, women have excellent opportunities for executive positions, work / life balance, cafeteria, free books, focus on literacy for children

      Cons

      Dick Robinson is either out of touch with his company culture or no longer cares. Top level executives are typically laid off for no cause and a new team of executives will replace middle management with their corporate cronies. There's management by fear. Everyone seems to be for themselves and by themselves. There's silos all over with lots of in-fighting at high levels. HR has no principles or authority. Minorities in high positions from CFO down were unceremoniously and shamelessly laid off in groups for no reason. Very disillusioned and disappointed about the culture that was once very liberal minded and fair when the company was privately run.
