Pros

At the forefront of independent publishing in the US. They have a true passion for books, in all forms. Management is bold and visionary, a huge plus in this rapidly changing industry. Good benefits, great working atmosphere, fun colleagues.

Cons

Infrastructure, planning and resources, especially on the IT side, are woefully lacking given their ramp up for digital publishing. Management seems to be fond of hiring consultants but often doesn't listen to their advice. Salaries are in line with other publishing companies, which are overall low.

Pros

Almost all people who work here are professional, kind and nice. People are good to go for beer with and care about their work. Office itself is really nice, with a little cafe with nice coffee machine.

Cons

The leadership is AWOL. This allows bad apples to dominate. And there is one bad apple in particular... . Anyone who has worked in NY OFFICE knows who I mean. This person gets away with behavior that wouldn't be tolerated anywhere else. I'm talking about really cruel, divisive, borderline harassment type behavior. What does this person have on the CEO? We all wonder.
