Fine - Recensione dipendente - Editorial Assistant presso F1000

Great working environment and even better colleagues. Was able to get involved in multiple exciting projects and really feel like I was contributing to the advancement of academic publishing and the company's forward thinking objectives

Senior management were not straightforward.

-Managers are generally agreeable and helpful. -Unclaimed leave rolled over when I joined but is unlikely to for future years. -Time off is pretty flexible.

-No realistic pathways for timely career or pay progression. -The pay increase we got a while ago was below inflation and a one-off increase, not a regular consideration. -Relatively high turnover of staff since everyone in entry-level positions clearly and rightly see the role as a springboard for other roles. -Workload varies considerably day to day; sometimes not enough hours in the day and on other days I have literally had 20 minutes of work. -Very monotonous workflow. -Generic insufferable 'corporate culture' run by HR cat ladies. -Journal is generally very low quality, so if you're someone who finds fulfilment by taking pride in their work this probably isn't for you - F1000Research is less of an academic journal and more of a pre-print server with some customer service.
