McGraw Hill Employee Reviews about "senior management"

Pros

Some very dedicated and talented people working at MHE with a huge amount of experience Good autonomy and scope to collaborate across the global business Great products and great opportunity to earn good commission as there is a lot of opportunity if pitched appropriately. Good new senior management who have brought more balanced approach to direction of travel as a business

Cons

Strategy has changed drastically several times (as have all publishers) and as a result there has been a high turnover of people. Can be a slightly political environment with many decisions being based on rumour and popularity rather than an evidence based meritocracy

Pros

Despite company flaws there is a good team of people doing the hard work. They have great solutions that could make a real difference to academics and students.

Cons

Completely lost touch with their customers and the market in general. Poor performance from legacy staff is tolerated. Hard work and commitment is not repaid. Great staff are constantly put on whilst the senior management is often interim or a bad fit for the business making it impossible to be successful as an individual. Staff development and CPD is non-existant. Good people are undervalued and allowed to leave. Salary range for people in same role is ridiculous. The company is more interested in selling to the next VC than it is in making a difference to customers. I would not recommend working here. There is very little in the way of strategy and what there is usually changes on a quarterly basis. Promises are made but not kept.

Pros

Personally, I thought the international senior management were very good. The offices has a good atmosphere and culture. Good benefits and potentially good rewards

Cons

When a change in leadership happened, the wrong choices were made - passing over the best, most experienced person for the role. It encouraged me to look elsewhere. The person they hired did not last long - but it created damage and disruption. A big shame. Nevertheless, a good company with good quality staff at every level.

Pros

Highly professional with quality content!

Cons

Do lots of experiments, Strategy change & Senior Management Change

Pros

Some good, smart people work at MHE

Cons

Expect to get laid off, devalued, or minimized to the point of not being effective. Horrible senior management culture - good old boys, few women in leadership positions. CDO is a bad leader: lack of accountability, lack of adaptability, poor integrity.
