Pros

The books are great and when everything is good, it's good. There are some lovely people there as well.

Cons

The fear that runs through the company is at every level. When Mr Taschen is in a bad mood the whole company knows it. People are summoned across the world to meet with him to explain their actions, and orders are barked via email. The result is that everyone is quick to point the blame at someone else, and defend their own position. This leads to a poisonous atmosphere.
