Thank you for sharing your review. We are proud of our culture and work life balance forms such an important part in our diverse and dynamic business with great leaders and inspiring colleagues. We have a global career portal which is a great resource with all our open roles, tips and suggestions for career development so colleagues can be sure to take ownership of their own development and have support on learning available to help you on that journey. Suggest you talk to your HR team if you are not clear on this or indeed our salary structures which we have made progress to align globally. Thanking you again for taking the time to review.

Disorganized, bad management

Pros

Some teams offer great working set up and culture, but overall, leadership is disorganized

Cons

The company struggles with high turnover due to unclear expectations and poor management. Future employees should ensure they get responsibilities and expectations in writing.

Thanks for sharing your view. We do pride ourselves on our great people and we do have highly skilled colleagues working to support our dynamic business. Actually our turnover is globally quite low and although some teams naturally have higher turnover this is depending on the nature of the role. As the leading publisher of the world's most prestigious journals we serve as a trusted partner and most of our colleagues have a good working experience with us. Please speak to your local HR contact if you need support.
