      Publishing Sucks - Marketing Associate Penguin Random House Employee Review

      3.0
      Apr 29, 2023
      Marketing associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Books rock The people are fun Free reading material You will love the products you work on (especially if you're in children's books)

      Cons

      Pay is only compared to the next guy below you and when the next guy is owned by a conservative nut job you're always going to be comparing to a too-low salary and thus earning a too-low salary. DEI efforts are there, but they barely make a meaningful impact because they won't give money to the divisions. So much politics it's ridiculous.

      Pros

      Great writing, Top tier production

      Cons

      The male director never asked me once how I was doing or offer any advice to calm my nerves (on my first production ever with them) which lead to a burdensome recording process.

      Pros

      Great People, wonderful industry, books!

      Cons

      It has become less about the product and the people and more about the profit. No room for advancement. More work, less people, less empathy.
