McGraw-Hill – “Comfortable if a bit stodgy”

Pros

Coworkers are capable, friendly, intelligent; managers are generally competent if not in love with innovation; salaries and benefits are likely in the middle of what competitors pay.

Cons

Management is frequently indecisive and conservative--and when it finally innovates, it often loses interest in new initiatives after a short while. Most of the company's valuable holdings now are via acquisition rather than innovation.

Advice to Senior Management

Look for a new way forward--and bring in some people with a track record of innovation and understanding of the Digital Age.
