      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Colleagues are largely friendly and sociable, they care about what they do. Office is nice. There is a desire to fix some of the older systems, mess of data and tech legacy.

      Cons

      Talk of IPO was on the horizon but did not make the number desired back in 2020. Rumblings from above suggest same in next few years. Instant revenue is valued, presentee-ism in working from home policy and a covert move to transfer technical resource to Pune office aka SNTPS in new organisational discussions. Management issues, DEI here is a joke and several senior women with experience have been passed over for promotion or left altogether in website, IT, technology teams. Transparency is a huge issue, senior teams have big plans they will not share with teams this will impact. Getting a promotion largely hinges on halo effect of highly visible work not competency, hiring confirmation bias or popularity over the right candidate. Technical teams are short staffed with huge workloads they cannot deliver. Advice to Management Be transparent.

      Thank you for your feedback. The IPO talk referred to here was a few years ago and we are now focusing on our growth strategy. We are proud of the work we do and have published our stats in the 2022 Sustainability report. So currently 43% in our top three tiers are female and our target is 45% by end of 2023. Last year we actually hired more women than men and diversity is top of our agenda. We are looking to diversify our location strategy also and will continue to hire across the globe in our core locations. We have a speak up culture and encourage all our colleagues to talk to their manager or their managers manager if things are not clear. Alternatively please contact HR. Thank you again.

      Good transition job for out of academia

      Senior editor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Full time employment and not contracted, which is rare for many who wish to leave academia. Other editors are friendly and it's nice to work in an international team. If you like to travel, there are plenty of opportunities for that.

      Cons

      High workload and little reprieve due to high editorial staff turnover. Salaries may be just average for publishing but below average for skills required for the job (a PhD). Your experience and wellbeing is entirely dependent on your relationship to your line manager, who may not always have your best professional interests at heart. Little to no room for growth after senior editor promotion. Company is very opaque on salaries with major discrepancies between offices and editors, and no room for negotiation. Difficult to work for some of the purely open access journals for moral reasons.

      Pros

      A lot of well meaning people who join and take a while to realise exactly who and what they are working for. Nice location.

      Cons

      Toxic Management. Did and you will find more stories If it wasn't part of a broken market (e.g. Monopoly) I would doubt it would still exist.
