Penguin Random House

Is this your company?

Can be exciting, but it’s a lot of sork - Publicity Assistant Penguin Random House Employee Review

Pros

Access to free books; name recognition goes a long way. There’s a certain transparency due to the corporate structure. Lots of vacation days, benefits are good. If you’re on a good team, things can feel fun and people can become your friends

Cons

Pay is low, advancement is difficult to navigate. Lots of restructuring and shifting going on currently.

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.
