nice place to work; scrambling due to industry downturn

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice people, no drama, upbeat executive team. Good for long-term. Great office (One NY Plaza) and location. Environmental conciousness at least from the top. Friendly atmosphere with plenty of work (no goofing off) but not so pressured that you can't do your work in a reasonable workflow.

Cons

Industry pressure has caused a lot of staff reduction in last months. Disorganized. No room for career growth in Info Tech areas. Always been lower pay than other industries.

Friendly company with publishing pay

Business Outlook

Pros

Corporate culture values work/life balance; summer Friday half-days and a week off between Christmas and New Year's; work environments seem to vary by imprint/department but mine has been warm and welcoming; my manager makes it clear that I am valued

Cons

Low publishing salaries; technology is behind the times and updates are difficult to implement; some practices and habits feel old-fashioned and not as effective as they might have been 20 years ago
