Pros

Springer Nature offers a friendly and pleasant work environment with amazing and supportive colleagues and flexible working hours, contributing to a positive atmosphere and work-life balance.

Cons

Low salaries and strict policies regarding remote work from abroad. About WfA, the company has made some good progress, but there is certainly more room for improvement.

Thank you for sharing. The office environment and culture strength are all down to our wonderful people. Work life balance is a good strength that seems to resonate with many; we are always looking for feedback on what else we can do. We have this year widened our policy to work abroad to include "Workations" which is quite popular and allows flexibility. We look to benchmark our salaries and we review regularly.

Pros

Typical WFH balance (3 days in office/2 from home); some great people work at Springer Nature; there are oppotunities to be involved in employee groups etc.

Cons

Top leadership are not invested in their employees, but do put a lot of effort into making it seem as if they are. No progression/some people who happen to be men get paid a lot more than others for the same role, no pracitcal steps to address internal inequalities and genearl low morale.

Pros

- work environment is very good and supportive - when you are done for the day or the holidays, you are done; no need to think about work, plan, worry or feel guilty! - international teams and colleagues from a wide range of academic backgrounds - encouraged to professionally develop - flexible working hours - 4/5 days WFH

Cons

- very competitive applications to get the job, and communication with unsuccessful applicants can be very poor. - you need to stop thinking like an academic and start thinking like a publisher (can take some getting used to) - daily routine can feel monotonous at times

Thank you for your review. Our work life balance is important and holidays critical for taking time to rest up without worrying about work. We are a truly global organisation with diverse and highly talented teams. I'm concerned to hear that we have at times neglected to provide interview feedback. Candidate experience so important so I will raise this with the global recruitment team leads.
