Pros

If you love books, they are all over. You will meet some nice people who love books to, and to talk about them, and get free books all the time.

Cons

So disappointed in my experience at Harper. They are stuck 25 years in the past. The environment is stuffy, cliquey, etc. Upper management thinks they're better than everyone else, and what they say and how they've been doing it for the last half century is apparently the only way. Don't expect any recognition, even a $10 starbucks giftcard at Christmas.

Pros

Fully remote with all necessary tech provided, weekday schedule, great benefits, good leadership, small close-knit teams, generous PTO in addition to paid holidays

Cons

Base salary could be better but is offset with benefits package. Employee retention is high (a huge plus IMO) butcould limit upward mobility if you're looking for it.
