Pros

I love working at Springer. It's a very innovative and efficient publisher, moreso than any other single publisher for which I've worked. My colleagues are great, and it's truly a global company, unlike other "global" companies where I've worked. Springer Nature encourages new ideas and international teamwork. More efficient workflow than anywhere else I've worked.

Cons

A bit of a quirky company, but that can be good too. It's not always intuitive how to get things done, but if one puts his or her mind to it, it's easy enough to figure out - very entrepreneurial. Salaries are on the low side, but they do negotiate to the upper end of market rate if one has leverage.

Pros

The company started in 2009, but recently have seen a downfall. And management needs to come up with ideas where in the employees feel wanted.

Cons

Too much hopscotch, people generally not happy, if you are hard worker, this place is not for you, not valued at all...

Fundamentals are wrong with what has been written by this employee. We started in 2006 and have steadily been growing from team of 2 to 1000 people. Without good people, we would have not sustained 10 years.

Good Organisation to work for

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

This is a good Organisation to work for. Being a Product Based organisation, they pay well, have good technical exposure, and let you have good recognition. The parent organisation - Springer Nature is a big name in the publishing field, the publishing business is becoming increasingly IT-Enabled and this makes the organisation adapt the latest technology in the field. They have flexible working hours and employee-friendly policies

Cons

Being a Product based organisation it also limits your technical exposure. Unlike big IT companies you cannot change your project. The only option is to leave the organisation. Same goes if you don't get along with your team mate or manager. The management needs to make a clear stand on the Branding of the Organisation and needs to stop being bureaucratic. The HR Policies are average and some are not up to Industry standards. The Organisation tends to act cheap in some areas and it needs to realise that it leaves a bad impression on the employees. The negative is that this can be a great organisation but it is not using it's full potential because it wants to stick to the Good-Old Days and does not want to adapt to change.
