Pros

Working at one of the foremost publishers of trade fiction, with some of the most experienced colleagues, on books that will often succeed given Harper's immense knowledge of the industry and incredible connections, is of course incredibly rewarding. A self-starter can do very well here

Cons

Harper can be unfriendly and competitive at times. It's a big company and it feels like one.
