Pros

- working with smart people who are dedicated and hard working - being close to scientific knowledge and discoveries - company values that make sense, and are caring towards the environment and their workforce - attempts at being innovative and develop strengths in multiple areas - they seem to know what they're doing financially

Cons

- very large, global company with lots of smaller companies and teams within, who don't really speak to one another - unclear goals and strategies (unless you're high up in leadership) - not effective in supporting employees development and career development - pay for most positions not great esp. for employees in expensive cities - but to be fair most of publishing is like this

Thank you for sharing. We do indeed have a very nice culture and we are all proud of the work that we do to contribute to sharing information to enable learning. We are all working to ensure that SN becomes a more environmentally and socially responsible organisation. In line with our purpose and values and also to reflect the important research we publish relating to climate change and the SDGs. In 2021, we committed to become a net zero organisation by 2040. Work life balance is strong at SN and we aim to support everyone's development - more to come on this during the Summer.

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.
