Pros

Great benefits, nice office and culture. Competitive pay depending on department. Excellent mission. Organization is relatively stable and professional. A lot of opportunities for go-getters who follow through.

Cons

Leadership get distracted by short term ideas that will undoubtedly negatively impact the timing and execution of long term goals. Some leadership have been in the publishing industry so long it's impacting their ability to disrupt... and they're not open to critical feedback. Young staff members turn over quickly due to non-competitive wages and less than stellar recruitment and management. Too much stagnation due to politics.
