Pros
PRH is the biggest publisher, so you take the good of massive size with the bad. For publishing, the entry level pay and benefits are good. Working from home during the pandemic was well-supported and the company never made us feel like we had to choose our jobs over our health. The big benefit for readers is access to the interior library of books and manuscripts.
Cons
It's easy to get overlooked in such a big company, if you don't have a good supportive manager. There's a definite change in culture among management and upper management, who don't know or have forgotten what it is like to live in small apartments in the city while they tend to live outside the city - during the pandemic it seemed they weren't aware that while managers often had home offices, lower level employees would quite possibly have to work from atop their beds in studio apartments. The company is also overwhelmingly white and diversity initiatives move painfully slow, and company culture is quick to offer kudos for any small steps but hesitant to recognize missteps. Its also easy to feel left out of the loop if you don't like going for drinks.
