Pluspunten

Working from home, kind and dedicated colleagues

Minpunten

completely unrealistic workload and expectations. Cult-like atmosphere. The healthcare premiums are outrageous. Several pointless 2+ hour long meetings a month that basically serve no purpose but inflating the CEO's ego. Everyone is expected to manifest extreme joy like they're at a megachurch in the meetings but when you talk to them individually they're miserable. The books are total garbage and we are actively making people stupider by publishing them. AI is aggressively being pushed onto the staff. Mean girl cliques. I left the industry after leaving this job, thank god.

Pluspunten

I genuinely enjoyed the creative side of this work — getting to see manuscripts I helped write from start to finish. Getting to write back and jacket covers, see illustrations bring the words to life. I also loved other members of my team and still do!

Minpunten

Horribly, horrifically toxic. Me and everyone I know who worked there has suffered severe trauma since. We’ve all also suffered with our careers since leaving Sourcebooks — and a big reason for that is the work trauma we still carry.
