      Pros

      A huge and well known publishing company. Industry experts with years of experience to learn from.

      Cons

      Huge lack of diversity and seemingly no forward plans to change this in this specific imprint. Senior staff have poor sensitivity training when managing their staff. Poor understanding and assessment of workload from a managerial stand point upon review. Culture supports the idea that certain behaviours are excusable for longstanding members of the company. This is okay for some but not all people can work well in such an environment.
