I worked at McGraw Hill Financial full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Fairly good pay and benefits, lots of highly educated co-workers, widely recognized brands.

Cons – Little opportunity for advancement. Its all about who you know rather that what you know. Senior management is mostly out of touch with their markets. New ideas are frowned upon.

Advice to Senior Management – Too much of a good-old boy network. CEO needs to step down and take some of his cronies with him. Doubtful that company will be able to succeed in an increasingly competitive global marketplace as long as it continues to rely on advice of same senior managers.
