Pros

Salary on time. Good environment, friendly office crowd. nice work life balance, not too much pressure compared to other fields out there.

Cons

Okay, I have no clue where to start from but here we go...... So the most pathetic management I ever came across, provided there are some amazingly talented members in the upper management but they are lazy as a pregnant sloth. No respect for the employees and the HR's are like personal bodyguards for the management. The HR's useless and very new in this profession. The leaders have no idea as to where they are leading the company and cannot anticipate the outcome of their pathetic decision. And after they fail miserably with the stupid decisions, they ask you to quit "Let me quote them here: Suno, as you are aware that the client is not giving us any more new books, we are personally advising you on a friendly term that you start looking for other jobs as soon as possible but you wont be given leaves to go for the interview, you will have to magically be present at two different places at once."

Pros

- Opportunities to read and shape the best science - Working on a team that supports you - Support from colleagues outside your immediate team who believe in the overall mission to publish the best science

Cons

- Major disconnect the highest levels of management and the actual culture of research publishing - The move towards optimizing the company for more efficient turnaround times and increased publishing output devalues and ignores the editors' input and efforts that have been spent to bring in the best science year upon year, and adds more to the already-overburdened editorial workloads without proper compensation for the additional workloads. - Repeated promises to bring in more personnel to alleviate these burdens, but the fulfillment of these promises are never fast enough and take at least several months, adding to existing editors' stress levels and contributing to burnout.

Thank you for sharing and sorry to read of your experiences more recently whilst you have been with us for so many years. We want all our colleagues to continually feel supported and, for those who have been here for some time, to be clear about what we stand for and have support to develop and speak up with ideas to improve things. The calibre of our colleagues is extremely high and finding similarly skilled talent in the market is not always an easy task and can take a little longer than we would like. We are working on this and we strive to regularly benchmark salaries within our industry. Thanks again. For career development we have listened to our colleagues and taken action to design a global career portal which brings together resources, training and events to help our people take ownership of their career development through planning, acquiring new skills and discovering opportunities to grow.
