Arijit Khasnobis, Senior Publishing Manager
Journey with T&F
I started at Taylor & Francis in 2009, and it's been eight years of working alongside talented and exciting colleagues in Europa and the wider company. There's been a lot to learn! In these years I've seen the company grow and grow, with processes and systems evolving and improving all the time. The move to the new offices was a big and positive change!
T&F's employee-friendliness and apolitical working culture are to be cherished. I've enjoyed the challenge of new responsibilities and the freedom to decide how to get the job done. Every November, when we complete Europa's annual publishing cycle, is a milestone. With so many bright and eager people pulling in the same direction across global office locations, there is lots to learn, many ideas to exchange, and diverse cultures to share. It's been an incredible eight years!
