Working at PRH - Senior Editor Penguin Random House Employee Review

Pros

Great coworkers, wonderful benefits and tons of vacation-- this is a German owned company so everyone starts with 4 weeks vacation. It's a great company and people stay for a long time. After10 years you get a one-month sabbatical and 5 weeks vacation. Plus lots of free books.

Cons

The downside of all of this vacation is that the pay is low, which is tough when you're living in one of the most expensive cities in the US. In my group, it tough to move up the ladder-- there's just nowhere to go unless you transfer to another department.

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.
