Great people let down by awful leadership and outdated policies
Pros
Training and opportunities for graduate-level starters. Good people at junior and middle management levels. Gives you the skills for a career in academic publishing or science communications - take those skills and run!
Cons
No trust in staff to offer remote working, complete disregard for legal obligations around flexible working applications. Blasé attitude to COVID safety, ignoring health and wellbeing concerns leading to multiple cases in the office. Irrational old-fashioned owner let loose to make poor decisions without due diligence or current business understanding. No staff consultation, all decision-making is top-down. Clear favouritism with opportunities and promotions being offered to a small number of staff. Don't trust all reviews on this page - senior staff have been known to ask current staff to leave positive reviews to counteract negativity.
