Pros

I'm surrounded by people who are not just talented but also extremely devoted to their jobs. It makes for an inspirational work environment and my manager and colleagues have all been very helpful and supportive, which has been important to my growth as someone who is new to the industry.

Cons

It would be nice to receive more feedback on my work and how I could better assist the editors on my team. HR has put in place a standardized, annual self-review/evaluation process, but it would be helpful to receive feedback more frequently than just once a year, even if it's just an informal, 10-minute conversation that goes beyond what I should prioritize day-to-day, and touches on what sort of long-term goals and skills I should be working to develop (and how I should achieve them.)

Pros

A lot of nice people and great books to work with.

Cons

Very antiquated systems. Sales teams and a lot of teams are in bubbles. There are a good amount of managers and higher ups that have been there for a while (10-30 years) and they don't like change, make their teams life hell, and keep them more siloed.
