Pros

Staff are great, print products, content and marketing are good quality. Work is interesting and always changing which is both good and bad

Cons

The structure of the company has changed a lot in recent years. Salaries aren't high and getting a decent payrise is all about negotiating with someone who is not your direct boss. Lack of internal communication between departments. The digital strategy and technology is not up to scratch but this is an issue with most publishers.

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.
