Business Outlook

Pros

Wonderful colleagues, and a generally tolerant and modern work environment

Cons

In my time in this role I have been continually shunted between different projects and teams, making it impossible to properly adapt to my job. The training has been poor, the regard for my wellbeing non-existent, and above all the salary is appalling for a company making as much revenue as it does. Furthermore, senior managements drive to relentlessly cut costs (including making large scale sweeping redundancies in the midst of a global pandemic) betray something deeply concerning in my opinion. If you wish to get into academic publishing based on a love of science and research, this is not the place for you. I seriously urge anyone considering this employer to reconsider.
