Pros

- Working with passionate, talented, smart colleagues. - Great benefits. - Regular opportunities to receive free or discounted PRH books - PRH publishes a wide range of books so you're bound to find an imprint or division that suits you.

Kontras

- PRH salaries are often better than other publishing companies, but still very low. - There is often a culture of working long hours, including evenings and weekends, especially for Editorial staff. Work-life balance isn't the best and staff aren't paid overtime. - Career progression is slow. For instance, people in junior roles often spend years in a role before they are promoted (if they are promoted at all). - Lots of discussions around diversity and inclusion are good, but much more *action* needs to be taken outside of lip service/tokenism/positive action schemes for the company culture to improve.

Pros

• Caring people. Psychological safety is emphasized by people at every level. I feel like leadership at each step of the reporting chain is very approachable and transparent. • Great work/life balance. • There is a lot of openness to trying new technologies or doing different things for such a large and established organization. There is very little "trend chasing," it's more like you're listened to. As the CEO started out as a technologist, he has a realistic view of what new tools (including, but not just, AI) can do for us. • Informal, especially for a company created by the merger of two nearly-100 year old publishing firms and was recently acquired by a nearly-200 year old company. • Company supports learning and development. • Free books! • I care greatly about the company's mission and it's clear how my work impacts the company's ability to execute on it. • Things often move slowly, which is both a pro and a con.

Kontras

• Pay and insurance are very average, but I can live with that. This is a much bigger con for employees whose jobs require them to be on-site, especially in e.g. London and New York. • Said learning and development seem to have a ...deliberate pace. While this is fine and what I wanted, other tech people coming in from more "tech-y" organizations mightn't gel with it. • Things often move slowly, which is both a pro and a con.
