Pros

NYC office is in a great location.

Cons

You won't be there forever. Macmillan's sales force (which control the direction of the company) WANT to sell paper books (not internet based learning tools for a modern world). They do not care about the students (their customers). I know it sounds like I'm bitching - but Macmillan's market share is down to 5%. Hopefully they'll turn this around - but it may already be too late.

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.
