About the company

Penguin Random House

Company overview

Locations and presence

Penguin Random House is headquartered in New York City and has a major UK presence in London, alongside other offices and operations across many countries. Working patterns vary by role and region, with US corporate publishing roles often advertised with remote options and UK early-career roles commonly set up as hybrid.

Palpable Score

77.3
/ 100
Penguin Random House is unusually accessible for early-career candidates because paid internships recur across many functions, and the UK “Scheme” style pathways reduce common barriers like CV gatekeeping. Pay signals are better than the publishing industry baseline, including paid internships and a raised US entry-level salary floor, backed by a benefits package that helps early-career stability. The limiting factor is outcomes evidence: public proof of typical progression and retention is patchy outside of individual stories and review-site sentiment.
