Pros

It is a large corporation that had considerable assets before they sold a number of them off. They have nice offices in a number of different locations. They offer a bonus plan.

Cons

It is a large corporation, no idea what talents and skills you have, no appreciation for hard work, leadership, and development efforts, headed in the wrong direction shifting to education services from publishing. They are outsourcing all the traditional publishing roles.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
