Overview
Since The McGraw-Hill Companies cover a diverse set of industries and each of our businesses has its own personality, there's no one type of person we're looking for. That's part of what makes it nice to work here - there are sub-cultures within sub-cultures, and undoubtedly there is a niche that's right for you. But at the same time, you get a chance to interact with people across the corporation who are working on interesting projects completely different from your own. That being said, there are a few things that we think we have in common:
People who want to make a difference
The mission of The McGraw-Hill Companies is to create a smarter, better world through our people, products, and our work in our communities. We're making sure our customers get the information they need to succeed - whether it's through financial services, educational materials, or business information. People who work here want to make sure that happens and see the positive impact of what we do.
People who are intellectually curious
We don't make widgets. We provide information. So our greatest asset as a corporation is the intellectual capital of our employees - if we stopped thinking, we'd cease to exist! Staying on the cutting edge of our industries and providing valuable ideas, research, analysis, and new information is what keeps going every day.
People who have integrity
Whether it's a second grader learning to read, a family looking for the safest new car, or an entire government basing policy on a financial rating, we know that so many people depend on us. We acknowledge the responsibility that goes with being a business and educational leader and demand absolute integrity from ourselves in providing accurate and reliable information.
People who think digitally
In each and every one of our businesses, technology has made a huge impact on how we deliver to our customers. From online educational platforms that help teachers understand what their students do and do not understand, to putting surgical illustration in doctor's hands via the iPhone, we are driving change through digital technology. We need people who will continue innovation and lead the way for the next century.
People who have a global perspective
As our reach continues to grow, we are touching people's lives in every corner of the world. Being able to consider the impact of global trends and find more opportunities to make a difference in new regions and countries is both exciting and necessary in today's global economy.
People who are passionate about their work
While we strongly encourage a work/life balance and have many programs that support it, we don't believe in just working to pay the bills and keeping one eye on the clock. We try to help more people every day, and we try to improve ourselves every day. That takes drive and passion and commitment. That's what working at The McGraw-Hill Companies is all about.
