      Pros

      - Busy atmosphere with smart, friendly staff who seem to genuinely enjoy each others' company. - Pay competitive for publishing or nonprofit. - Strong founding mission and values. - Opportunities to learn / get involved in different projects and initiatives. Works best for people who like to multi-task, problem solve, and are very flexible.

      Cons

      Suffers from some of the growing pains listed in other reviews: high turn over, unclear communication, shifting projects and priorities. Most likely not a good fit for those who prefer structure, clear instructions, consistency in tasks and responsibilities.
