Pros

Harper occupies a great spot in the world of trade publishing, with so many high profile authors and resources.

Cons

Lower-level employees (especially in publicity) are often seen as expendable. Some authors are predatory, and I experienced quite a few #MeToo moments and situations while employed.

Pros

Fully remote with all necessary tech provided, weekday schedule, great benefits, good leadership, small close-knit teams, generous PTO in addition to paid holidays

Cons

Base salary could be better but is offset with benefits package. Employee retention is high (a huge plus IMO) butcould limit upward mobility if you're looking for it.
