    Random House Anonymous in New York, NY:   (Past Employee - 2009)

    Pros

    The benefits are incomparable at Random House, and overall there are some really creative and passionate people who work there. People tend to stay a long time at this company.

    Cons

    Little opportunity for advancement, need to make a lateral shift to another publishing company in order to come back to RH in a higher capacity. Low pay, though it's comparable to the rest of the publishing industry in general. Little communication from senior management in terms of what's going on in the company

    Advice to Senior Management

    Employees want to know what's happening in the company, especially during tough times. Keep them informed and show that you care about them.
