"I've worked at Barnes & Noble in the NOOK group for 4 years. It's a great group of people, however the company is having some challenges finding it's place and coming up with exactly the right product for the Barnes & Noble customer base. After some missteps under previous management a new leadership team is trying to get NOOK back on the right path."

"Barnes and Noble is a company that has struggled over the past few years but has the possibility to turn around with the vision and strategy of the new CEO. The employees who work there truly love books and the new CEO is taking them back to that focus."
