Pros

It is a calm and enjoyable open office environment. I work for a large company of over 1,000 employees, but specifically work under the DK imprint and it feels like it's own small company. The managers are very flexible and understanding with personal life as long as you do your job, generous vacation time, sick days, personal days (comes from being owned by a European company) and benefits are decent. Not a stressful environment most of the time, management is supportive. You are exposed to many other parts of the publishing industry due to being such a small office which is great way to learn new skills.

Cons

Because we are so small not much room for advancement. Salary is not as competitive as in other industries, but you do receive a lot other benefits which helps a little.

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.
