Pros

You're surrounded by books everywhere and get a lot of freebies, chance to attend big book events

Cons

The upper management at the India office in Gurgaon , especially the marketing/digital team was nasty to the core, politics, and power play at it's worst, would enforce a bureaucratic work culture The infrastructure was poor and the laptops provided were two decades old. The flexi timing is only for managers and not other employees, salary is not as per industry standards. Pointless meetings are held on a regular basis which really hamper productivity and efficiency. Blame game is a common practice here.

Pros

The best in the business.

Cons

You are literally working 24/7. It doesn't matter even if you are hospitalised. And terrible pay. Don't invest more than 2 years of your life here.
