Pros

Good work/life balance with possibility to work from home (1 day/week for editorial roles), many business travel opportunities, diverse international colleagues and inspiring values to live by. The Nature team focus on the content quality and strives in positivity. Colleagues are highly collaborative and share constructive feedback. Lots of freedom and independence as some line managers are based in different countries. HR has improved substantially in MENA in the last year, with procedures slowly being standardized across the region.

Cons

Springer and Macmillan focus more on product sales rather than product quality. This discourages some and contributes to a high employee turnover. Unisys IT support is a nightmare.

A very German/Dutch-centric company

Pros

Soon to be listed, I guess.

Cons

There is a glass ceiling in your career if you are not German or Dutch or based in one of their offices in continental Europe. Local staff members based in regional and satellite offices do not get anywhere near the very small inner circle that effectively makes all the strategic decisions. Decisions are often made by someone thousands of miles away who has little knowledge of local business. Opportunities are given to people not because of their abilities and track records but by their racial backgrounds. Stingy as hell when it comes to staff amenities, benefits and remuneration, and business travel.
