The high school group is growing exponentially from year to year, because we only just entered the high school market a few years ago. College is experiencing a slow down.
If you could make changes, how would you improve the culture at W. W. Norton & Company?
Top Employee Response
We hire a lot of privileged white kids from liberal arts schools. I would love to see more diversity in our ranks. Travelers work with instructors at all kinds of schools - top tier research institutions, state schools, HBCUs, community colleges, and liberal arts schools. I believe our hiring strategy is to hire the best and brightest that colleges and universities have to offer, but in my work with so many instructors at so many schools, I've found that the best and brightest aren't just coming from the "best" schools. Plus, I think it's valuable for travelers to be able to speak to their own experiences as students, and most of America's college students aren't in liberal arts schools.
What do people at W. W. Norton & Company think about the CEO? What do they do well and what can they improve?
Top Employee Response
Our new president is widely adored, and for good reason. Julia is smart and kind, and she does an excellent job of listening to employees. However, she's still too new to the position for me to comment on what she could do differently.
How's the work life balance at W. W. Norton & Company?
Top Employee Response
During the school year, it's tough to find work/life balance. Travelers juggle more priorities than can be reasonably handled, and it's not uncommon to work until late at night just to stay on top of things. However, these long hours are counter balanced by significant down time over the summer and winter breaks. There's still work to do during this time, but it can be accomplished from home (or anywhere with WiFi) in a few hours a day.
