Pros

Had a wonderful time at PRH - colleagues are cordial. Though editorial dept tends to keep their distance occasionally.

Cons

Work runs over into the weekends. No proper work-life balance. Lots of escalations that can be easily avoided through proper communication.

Pros

If you dream of working in editorial, then there's no better place to get a start. Your experience is completely dependent on your managers/what books they edit and how invested they are in your career.

Cons

Everyone in publishing is underpaid and promotions in editorial are especially tricky.
