Great place to work - Senior Editor Penguin Random House Employee Review

Pros

PRH has the most market share, most resources, and most entrepreneurial culture of the major trade publishing houses. There's no better place to begin your career.

Cons

Starting salaries while competitive with other publishers are low. You will only ever get a meaningful raise in salary if you bring your supervisors an outside offer. Opportunities to advance therefore require a great deal of personal initiative.

Pros

Great writing, Top tier production

Cons

The male director never asked me once how I was doing or offer any advice to calm my nerves (on my first production ever with them) which lead to a burdensome recording process.
