Once a good company, losing it's shine

Business Outlook

Pros

Sustainability is one of their goals, which is great. Access to free books between imprints is nice, and is one of many benefits.

Cons

Unfortunately your experience here will heavily depend on your team. Many teams lack diversity and the management often times lack the experience to lead properly. Communication between teams is also stilted and difficult
