      No transparency or career progression

      Senior research analyst
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Company can be relatively stable depending on which department you work in (although some departments are prone to repeated reorganisations).

      Cons

      No career progression in some departments. Your manager can completely stifle any advancement, most managers do not care about you being underpaid relative to your position and experience and are happy to take advantage of the lack of transparency which means you're not aware of being underpaid. Managers will make promises to make you stay but won't deliver on them.

      Thank you for sharing the feedback. Our colleague development is high on our priorities and we have invested heavily in this. In terms of specific managers. Our managers receive coaching and encouraged to actively participate training specific to our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy. All colleagues fairly and with respect and transparency. We are launching 2 new manager sessions this summer. If you have concerns with your specific manager please discuss with HR. Our global churn rate is thankfully quite low and we do look at teams with slightly higher turnover. Thank you again.

      An absolute mess

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A few sensible people are present but they are on mute

      Cons

      Fire fighting approach towards work Exploitation Compulsory weekend working (even if you are dying, no leaves offered) Crazy managers Team Leads selection based on 2 things - 1) should be a woman & 2) should be a girl

      Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, we’re sorry to hear about your personal experience. We constantly work towards making Springer Nature a great place to work. We ensure our colleagues have equal access to growth and development opportunities and we assure you that there isn’t any conscious bias. We continuously strive to make our processes transparent and inclusive. Colleagues have to go through a test, group discussion/technical test and 2 to 3 rounds of interviews. The 7-day rotational working is part of a business unit’s regular way of working and the same is communicated to all, working on weekend is optional. However, if there are any concerns you feel that warrants attention, we will be happy to look into it. Please reach out to HR.

      potentially a very good employer but a mixed bag

      Video producer
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - working with smart people who are dedicated and hard working - being close to scientific knowledge and discoveries - company values that make sense, and are caring towards the environment and their workforce - attempts at being innovative and develop strengths in multiple areas - they seem to know what they're doing financially

      Cons

      - very large, global company with lots of smaller companies and teams within, who don't really speak to one another - unclear goals and strategies (unless you're high up in leadership) - not effective in supporting employees development and career development - pay for most positions not great esp. for employees in expensive cities - but to be fair most of publishing is like this

      Thank you for sharing. We do indeed have a very nice culture and we are all proud of the work that we do to contribute to sharing information to enable learning. We are all working to ensure that SN becomes a more environmentally and socially responsible organisation. In line with our purpose and values and also to reflect the important research we publish relating to climate change and the SDGs. In 2021, we committed to become a net zero organisation by 2040. Work life balance is strong at SN and we aim to support everyone's development - more to come on this during the Summer.
