IVP is a great place to work - Associate Director InterVarsity Press Employee Review

- Leadership cares about the mission and is making great strides to effect positive change and growth in the company - Very remote/hybrid-friendly - Cares about lifting up marginalized voices - Publishes great books - Good benefits - Great people - I have better work-life balance here than at any other job I've had.

- Pay can be considered low for general publishing industry standards, but in my opinion, it is actually pretty high by ministry standards. IVP is definitely viewed as a ministry, but the environment is much more professional than other ministries I have worked at.

Staff is passionate about quality. Standards are high and the books are wonderful. The authors are smart, passionate, and creative. The team is very hard-working. IVP is a great place to grow intellectually and professionally. It's a small company, so you get to know everyone and cross-departmental communication, while difficult at times, is better than most places I've worked. Values and mission are pretty clear. When you are on board, it makes the work very exciting and meaningful. Great benefits package.

Burnout is pretty normal at IVP. Top-down communication is poor. Staff workload can be intense, since there are fewer employees to draw upon. Managers often work 7 days a week and far into the night. That work ethic does not model healthy work/life balance and makes everyone feel behind. Because it's a small company, advancement opportunities are limited. Salaries are on the lower side. If you don't connect with the mission of the company, you're likely to feel cynical or disengaged.
