      Fun, creative environment with little room for movement - Anonymous employee Penguin Random House Employee Review

      Pros

      Great benefits, excellent vacation schedule, all the free books you could ever want, inspiring and creative coworkers who care deeply about the product and the industry

      Cons

      Extremely top-heavy company, salary-wise; higher ups (especially those who have been with the company for a long time) make plenty of money while their assistants scrape by to pay NYC rent. Opportunities for those in entry level positions to advance up the ladder are few and far between.

      Pros

      Great writing, Top tier production

      Cons

      The male director never asked me once how I was doing or offer any advice to calm my nerves (on my first production ever with them) which lead to a burdensome recording process.

      Pros

      Great People, wonderful industry, books!

      Cons

      It has become less about the product and the people and more about the profit. No room for advancement. More work, less people, less empathy.
