Q&A With W.W. Norton Employees

William Warder Norton felt strongly that those employed at his firm ought to share in its ownership.  Following his death, Norton’s stockholder’s agreement codified a system whereby the firm continues to be owned wholly by active employees. With a shared commitment to the company at heart, they publish only what they love to publish, with a process custom-tailored to the needs of each project.

How employees describe working at W.W. Norton

Customer service reps are unprofessional. I wanted to cancel my account. The first thing that he said was they already have your information. Oh really. I've been paying Norton and the bad guys already have my information. These people are scam artists. Terrible service. Do not buy from Norto

Leadership, transparency, accountability, and talent
