Pros
Taschen books forever set the standard of what an excellent book should be like. Great fun working with the books. People are great too (but underappreciated).
Cons
Unlike the books, management is unpredictable, lacking logic and common sense, and is not supporting of its own people whilst they are working towards targets. Many opportunities have been lost just because the management has changed its mind overnight. Zero career opportunities because the structure is too horizontal (you can easily find yourself second in line to Benedikt Taschen - where is it to grow?) Everyone is scared of Benedikt Taschen, his mood swings, and preferential treatments.
