Pros

First of all, Macmillan publishes books! That's an automatic net-positive... But perhaps more importantly, the people in charge care about both sustainable change and their employees. Very humane company, and that motivates people

Cons

Work is feast or famine: sometimes overwhelmed, sometimes underwhelmed, but that's the nature of the beast.
