Pros

Good, smart, and kind coworkers; interesting books; and solid team spirit.

Cons

No care whatsoever about employees from higher ups. Horrible pay. The entire company tries to convince you that because it's a "passion" job, you should be willing to starve/struggle to pay your rent/not pay off the student loans you took just to get this job...which is ridiculous. Whoever is reading this: you deserve better. The DEI initiatives are a joke, too--they really just don't care about BIPOC authors or employees and are unwilling to put their money where their mouth is.

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.
