      Pros

      Nice staff, successful company, amazing perks

      Cons

      Feel like a #, publishing pays very little across the industry, editors are expecting to give over all their personal time to succeed

      Great Benefits and Culture, Poor Pay

      Senior product manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Free books all the time - Relaxed hours and flexible schedule - Company closes between Christmas and New Years (this is in addition to 20 standard vacation days) - Interesting work - Great people who are very knowledgeable

      Cons

      - I'm sure it is up to par for publishing specific jobs, but if you work in marketing or any sort of digital role the pay is waaaay below market rate. You have to love what you are doing because you could definitely make more money elsewhere.
