Miserable place to work

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

Good PTO. That’s about it.

Cons

Management is disorganized and barely knows what’s going on. The work is very autonomous and you don’t collaborate with others at all, and yet your work is measured as a team and if your team isn’t making their numbers, you suffer for it. They harp on the importance of being in the office, but there’s zero office culture, no sense of teamwork, and management is useless and just straight up rude. They play favorites, manipulate you into taking on extra work, and don’t promote their hardworking employees and then act surprised when everyone quits at the same time.

Very low salaries

Pros

- The name Springer Nature looks good in the CV. - Flexible work arrangements (for UK standards). Fast response to the pandemic. - Clean offices in central London. Casual environment, free tea/coffee. - Friendly colleagues, supportive lower/middle management.

Cons

- Very low salaries, especially for the level of expertise required. - Heavy workloads that constantly increase, as colleagues who leave are rarely replaced. Targets are unattainable without regular overtime (unpaid). - Hardly any opportunities for progression. Pointless performance reviews twice a year, but hard work and experience are not rewarded, while poor performance is ignored or tolerated. - Frequent redundancies (often of entire teams) for outsourcing, despite huge profits. - Incompetent higher management keeps introducing unusable and senseless processes, while employees’ feedback is consistently ignored. - Low morale among staff. Highly skilled, experienced colleagues keep leaving for greener pastures. - Large gender pay gap. Almost no ethnic diversity.
