Pros

This is somewhat surprising given the history of academic publishing, but there is a genuine serious effort at SN to promote open science.

Cons

Like all large companies, there can be bureaucratic headaches and inefficiencies.

Thank you for your feedback. Open Science is indeed something we are proud and passionate about. We have published commitments for our publishers at every stage of the process to create more accessible as well as more user focused content. We interact with millions of people every day through our research, health, education and publishing businesses. Connecting with them as authors, peer reviewers, editors, readers, teachers and users of our platforms provides us with the opportunity to influence behaviour on a large scale and effect real change. We are a truly international business and always looking to improve our processes. Thank you again for sharing.

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.
