Pros

Working at a Big 5 publisher, working on titles many people will interact with.

Cons

Long hiring process. Many contractors make for a confusing and changing environment where it seems like everyone is being trained. No real sense of community due to office layout.

Pros

A lot of nice people and great books to work with.

Cons

Very antiquated systems. Sales teams and a lot of teams are in bubbles. There are a good amount of managers and higher ups that have been there for a while (10-30 years) and they don't like change, make their teams life hell, and keep them more siloed.
