RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at McGraw Hill full-time for more than 5 years
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

Doesn't RecommendPositive OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at McGraw Hill full-time for more than a year
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.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at McGraw Hill full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
I have a lot of autonomy to drive solutions to real-world customer problems in the education space. The people are smart, fun, collaborative, mature, driven, and overall good eggs. I have had many opportunities to grow and take on more responsibility. Managers don't treat employees like children or monitor hours online and in the office. We all get our jobs done and respect each other's lives. People don't play the blame game. Everyone learns from mistakes and moves on. We have some of the best technical teams out there. I feel well compensated compared to other companies in this industry. Senior management makes themselves very available to anyone and are as open as possible with information.
Cons
Many people are stretched too thin to do quality work, and some people are performing the jobs of a higher title without the actual title or pay. There have been a few too many re-orgs, layoffs, and company strategy changes in the past couple of years, which have caused some morale issues. There has been disappointment around bonus payouts in the last couple of years. The health insurance is not great compared to other companies in this industry.

Pros
McGraw Hill is a great place to work. The company is always looking for ways to improve employees work/life balance. Throughout my tenure, the senior management has changed several times but, the outcomes have only been a pleasant surprise.
Cons
I cannot think of an issue that would need to be improved.

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.
