Pros

Good people that undertake the work Flexible office working Good response to remote work during the COVID pandemic Heavy cloud commitment

Cons

Matrix organization Promotion is based upon length of service rather than capability to do the job, leading to demoralized team members Lip service paid by HR when attempting to raise concerns (e.g. attitude of management, bulling, harassment) Mediocre pay reviews/increases Industry pay review alignment hasn't been completed after almost 18 months - attempts to question this are brushed off by management and HR as "not important to the day to day business" Antiquated systems/technology Resources (time, money, people) are wasted on reinventing old practices rather than a clean sheet approach Most of the senior management have spent their working lives here, and any new ways of working are immediately disregarded as not fit for purpose Accountability by the layers of management is almost none - anything escalated is ignored or generally swept under the carpet.

Pros

I met some great people that I'm still friends with today. Luckily most of them have now escaped this awful company.

Cons

Below average salary, everyone is extremely overworked, it takes 3 months to replace anybody that resigns, no progression and horrid members of senior management that have no idea how to do their jobs.

Pros

virtually none under the new structure

Cons

Attempting to run all of academic publishing as if it's a scientific journal, stiffling creativity and career progression opportunities in HSS book publishing. Editors treat assistants terribly and there is no respect, support or development for most employees.
