Pros

Amazing colleagues, lots of smart, curious and collaborative people. A lot of opportunities to be involved in different projects and initiative that enrich your work life and offer development. Good benefits.

Cons

Top down hierarchy and rigid structures. Most things take a long time to happen and there is a lack of ownership and decision power beyond the most senior leaders.

Thank you for your review. We have a highly collaborative, intellectually stimulating, and purpose-focused culture. Colleagues are empowered to drive open science and make a tangible global impact across health, climate, and education and this opens the door for curiosity. The environment we work in embraces transparency and global collaboration, championing the idea that publishing is just the first step in advancing human progress. This purpose and sense of belonging is rewarding for many of us. With such a high collaboration across the group, we do reflect and sometimes take time to make a decision - allowing us to show consensus. Work life balance and workplace wellbeing are important allowing us to have a healthy balance with family and friends. Thanks again.

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.
