      Merge eliminated much of the Penguin nonfiction side Lack of diversity and inclusivity. Not enough POCs which is a problem across the board in the industry Minimum effort towards diversity awareness— diverse books yes but hardly any diversity within the company especially editorial

      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.

      Pros

      Great People, wonderful industry, books!

      Cons

      It has become less about the product and the people and more about the profit. No room for advancement. More work, less people, less empathy.
