Pros

- work environment is very good and supportive - when you are done for the day or the holidays, you are done; no need to think about work, plan, worry or feel guilty! - international teams and colleagues from a wide range of academic backgrounds - encouraged to professionally develop - flexible working hours - 4/5 days WFH

Cons

- very competitive applications to get the job, and communication with unsuccessful applicants can be very poor. - you need to stop thinking like an academic and start thinking like a publisher (can take some getting used to) - daily routine can feel monotonous at times

Thank you for your review. Our work life balance is important and holidays critical for taking time to rest up without worrying about work. We are a truly global organisation with diverse and highly talented teams. I'm concerned to hear that we have at times neglected to provide interview feedback. Candidate experience so important so I will raise this with the global recruitment team leads.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts from our New York office. We have a great team; our purpose and culture continue to be 'stand out' and some of the reasons so many colleagues stay with us longer term. We are collaborative and progressive and everyday we contribute to learnings for generations to come.

Thank you for sharing your review. We kicked off our second Career Growth Week so far this year with a focus on feedback which underpins growth at every level. Alongside the flagship sessions, colleagues took part in a wide range of virtual events across the week. These included popular sessions like building skills through feedback, Forward Talk, AI-powered feedback, “expert” careers and mentoring panels, the Facilitation Marathon, and a LinkedIn personal branding workshop, as well as practical learning through the Level up: boost your skills and Talent Attraction sessions. Perhaps look out for the next one which will be in a few months time. Colleague development is core to our organisation.
