Pros
Some very interesting books to work on. A commendable production team, an efficient marketing team and outstanding typesetters. Designers are average (read moody and lazy). The MD is decent, willing to give you growth opportunities if you have the potential.
Kontras
Unbelievably tight deadlines. A blithering idiot for a managing editor--absolutely incapable and inefficient for the work her role demands and extremely old school. She can't edit, can't proofread, can't prepare schedules, does not understand budgets, is forgetful, inept and insensitive towards all. She thinks she can run things as smoothly as she runs the grapevine in the office. The entire workforce laughs at her behind her back. I repeat, the ENTIRE workforce. The commissioning editors have exceedingly poor language skills. Editorial division is in a mess right now.
