Pros

You're surrounded by books everywhere and get a lot of freebies, chance to attend big book events

Cons

The upper management at the India office in Gurgaon , especially the marketing/digital team was nasty to the core, politics, and power play at it's worst, would enforce a bureaucratic work culture The infrastructure was poor and the laptops provided were two decades old. The flexi timing is only for managers and not other employees, salary is not as per industry standards. Pointless meetings are held on a regular basis which really hamper productivity and efficiency. Blame game is a common practice here.

Pros

The benefits provided at PRH are amazing. Several weeks of paid vacation, bonuses, free books, the opportunity to meet authors, etc.

Cons

There isn't a lot of room to grow as a professional within this company. A lot of people get comfortable working in the same position for several years. They will dock your pay if you miss working the day after a holiday, regardless of weather conditions.
