Pros

-CEO and most of the senior management team is great -Scrappy, upstart attitude -Great office location -Some good titles published, a couple good imprints

Cons

-While there's a real passion to implement change from the top down but this change is not always realized/hindered by incompetent middle managers and people who would like things to stay exactly the same -Shocking number of absolutely incompetent people work there. Many of them have been with the company for ages and do the absolute minimum to get by (if that). -The degree of ego and drama that is tolerated is sad. People get away with a lot of BS at Macmillan. They would be fired at from most other jobs. -Company needs technology solutions to get rid of its operational bloat and some of its more incompetent departments

Pros

Very relaxed atmosphere, free books, standard benefits package, good PTO policy

Cons

silo-ed culture, cliquey, hard to be visible within the company, low pay, even lower bonuses, minimal opportunity for promotion, building is falling apart, many higher level positions barely know how to use computers and rely on younger employees to aide them in doing their jobs.

Pros

Generally very good, bright, enthusiastic people to work with, doing interesting things

Cons

Senior management are completely out of touch and trying to enforce chaotic, and ill-thought out re-organizations, with no timeline which are making talented and experienced staff disillusioned, if this continues for much longer, I fear an exodus. Also, the overly corporate environment is creating the wrong culture amongst the workforce.
