Clueless management, truly awful communication

Anonymous employee

Pros

Nice offices, (generally) friendly colleagues, interesting products

Cons

Very political, which means that obstructive / incompetent staff on friendly terms with the upper ranks is kept on while efficient, motivated staff are being let go to make the budget look better. No evident strategy, truly TRULY awful communication where essential information needs to be gleaned from snippets picked up somewhere in the hallways.

Pros

Springer's a great company, especially with respect to benefits (time off, sick days, health/dental/vision insurance, 401(k) matching, annual bonuses, etc.). Health insurance in particular is incredibly inexpensive and very comprehensive. Hard work is recognized - and results are rewarded.

Cons

It can be difficult to move up though, and is pretty much entirely dependent on whether or not your direct boss likes you and is willing to fight for you. Editorial is paid less than any other department, which doesn't seem fair because Springer wouldn't have a product to sell if Editorial didn't exist. Marketing and Sales get the majority of Springer's salary dollars.

Highly political environment

Pros

Nothing really, if you can avoid please do. HR is a puppet show and Senior Management is BS !!

Cons

Avoid their India division, selective senior guys have made a cartel and innocent employees are being targeted or thrown out just like me. Global guys are sitting blind.
