      Pros

      Penguin Random House is a terrific company to work for. I am proud to be apart of the team at PRH and my co-workers are good people to work with. The company as a whole has made tremendous strides and they make sure their employees are treated well with benefits, vacation time, and tons of free books!

      Cons

      I feel that sometimes communication is lacking between management and the other departments and that training could be more efficient. But Overall the company is great and I love working here.

      Pros

      Great people to work with; inspiring, intelligent and helpful. For the most part, you're treated with respect. There can be a lot of creativity

      Cons

      The work load for myself and nearly everyone I knew was too much and this was not recognised enough. Since the merger, the company has become a lot more corporate and people's concerned aren't being listened to as much

      Pros

      You will work with some of the most intelligent, wonderful people here, and be surrounded by incredible authors and books.

      Cons

      As with most big organizations, it can take a lot of effort to move those cogs. :) Some hiccups with the transition to digital, but still leads the pack. Very top-management heavy.
