Pros

Some genuinely talented colleagues and flexible remote work options.

Cons

I was terminated without any prior warning, documentation, or performance concerns—while 15 weeks pregnant. I was explicitly told the decision had nothing to do with my performance or competence, yet no severance was offered and no explanation was provided. Being let go on the spot under these circumstances—especially during pregnancy—was deeply distressing and raises serious questions about how McGraw Hill supports employees during vulnerable life stages. After posting my original review, McGraw Hill replied publicly saying they “take my concerns seriously” and encouraged me to email them so they could “improve.” I sent them a detailed, thoughtful account of what happened. They never replied. This is not “taking concerns seriously”; this is corporate PR damage control. If you see these canned responses on negative reviews, know that they are not backed by any actual action.

Pros

Great on-boarding team and process, multiple health benefit options, hefty bonus structure.

Cons

If you like having ZERO work life balance this job is for you. The expectation to be on at all times is never said, just implied and expected. They'll say don't work late or on weekends, but the job needs to be done. So if 40 hours isn't enough, which it never is, given the daily meeting expectations, managing renewal processes, outreach campaigns, and onsite meetings, figure it out. The sales team is KING, and everyone else has to accommodate their personalities. Sales can be rude and argumentative to MANAGERS in front of other team members or in meetings, and they are still employed because they bring in money! The general feel is "Ask questions but not too many questions" This work environment was toxic.
