Pros

Highly technical publisher, with some excellent publications and a fair number of good people on its staff. Some of the books are true marvels, while most books that make it to publication are quite good at the very least. It can be tough to work there, but the products are truly worth it.

Cons

The owner, who is very talented and at times inspiring, but also irascible and wilful. Too many employees spend their time with trying to stay on the right side of the owner of the company. Plus they don't really implement many of their ideas, so it feels surprisingly old-fashioned at times.

Pros

The fact that it is always remote is nice. You also get the opportunity to try new approaches if something isn't working (within reason).

Cons

There tends to be an expectation to always be available even when you're off or on vacation. Setting that boundary can have pushback.
