The McGraw-Hill Companies Employer Reviews

I thought the Mcgraw Hill companies would be a wonderful place to work and retire from someday. Boy, was I wrong. It is way too top heavy with too many directors, managers, supervisors and so on. They do not appreciate you as an employee or as an individual and the favortism never seems to end. How they can eliminate american jobs and give them to india – more...  is beyond my comprehension. But then again, when the big people make so much, there is no regard for the little people. This was a great company back in the day and now it is being run into the ground. After 16 years of being employed, doing a wonderful job I was also discarded without a blink of the eye. – less

If you not in customer service, you are not important at all.

I would not recommend this place for a permanent place to work, this is a good place to get a year or two in experience if you're coming out of college or looking to get into the field but this company is not interested in furthering your carreer, I've been here almost 10 years and have come to realize that when it comes to work ethics it's all a show. – more...  This company does what they want no matter how many people they get to say different, I guess it's part of a private company way of doing things. The benefits are great but to permanently work here I would never advice it. Save yourselfs and find something more suitable adn family oriented than the corporate sector of this way ward country. It's to politically corrupted to see good people for what they are rather than just a product to get another product out. – less

McGraw-Hill is a leader in print and electronic construction information. The company has several well-known brands.

Our dept was very micro managed with managers who watched your ever move. They watched if you were 2 minutes late and kept a time sheet on you. They are supposed to the be the one of the top 100 companies to work for in the USA for women. No way. I forgot to say, we were all salary. Our department would not let you work at home and would not let you – more...  change your hours due to child care issues or having children. I did meet alot of nice people. Several people in our department had nothing to do, so we were put on special projects on downtime. I think it is a good place to work but all the managers have different styles. Our boss had to know everything you were doing from you shoes, clothing to what time you arrived. He had someone who would report everything to him from within our department and she would do it over email. So you would find out about it later. Even if you were talking about something that was not her business.

overall I would not go back to work there. – less

I was hired to full a position that had been vacant for more than six months. It was a highly stressful position with much to do and little turn around time on projects. Unfortunately, there seemed to be some conflict between my managers expectations and those of management, the latter of which informed my contract and my decision to take on the job – more...  in the first place. Given that this was a commuting job, I was told by management that I would have at least two work-from-home days per week and that I could meet directly with authors -- whatever it took to ready key final draft manuscripts. Within a few weeks, it was clear that my immediate manager was not in agreement with this arrangement, and I was forced to commute daily, After spending upwards of 40 hours commuting weekly for an already stressful job, I determined this was not the job for me. – less

Glencoe McGraw-Hill provided interesting and challenging educational work. It offered the opportunity for free-lance proofreading according to the schedules and needs of my family of young children.

I enjoyed working at McGraw-Hill. I worked with very capble people. I had great managers and co-workers.

Large, diverse organization with many opportunities. I especially liked its global presence, which allowed me to travel to different offices.

Sitting all day grading papers is hard work. Now I knows what to do.

As a Freelance Production Artist, I review all material (Art, Color, Mechanical Specs) liaison between Management and Art Directors. Enjoyed the interaction between Art Directors and Management was able to get me 2 cents in, which was valued.

Management team very hands-on. Always rolled up sleeves to help out. Not talkers, but doers. Friendly people, great place to make friends not just co-workers. I looked forward going to work everyday. Super Fortune 500 company to work for with all the benefits included.

I would work for The McGraw-Hill Companies again simply because of the fair and generous nature displayed by my superiors and the company overall. The benefits are amazing, the incentives abound, and they offer a plethora of support programs.

An important position grading nationwide standardized testing. A management team who obviously cared about the future of America's children and a progressive work culture, yet, seasonal and temporary employment with no guarantees of work.

I was placed there temporarily to complete an editorial assignment for a mid-level reading program. I learned Text Director software, and enjoyed the collaborative and professional environment and colleagues and the interesting educational product.
