      It wasnt a perfect place for high performers.

      Pros

      Springer carries some weight in publishing business, colleagues are friendly, work-life balance is perfect.

      Cons

      The organization has an extremely heavy org structure and chain of commands, so many unnecessary middle management and quite some middle or upper managers simply are incompetent in leading. Work often happens in silos, no clear vision of the company and everyone enjoys living in their bubbles.

      Pros

      Every day is different, and science is always interesting.

      Cons

      Pay is not reasonable or livable. Especially given the training and expertise necessary.

      Money over quality, technology a mess, vacant leadership

      Pros

      Knowledgeable, driven and passionate editorial colleagues.

      Cons

      Core technology, tools and software are failing, while the company has jumped on the AI hype bandwagon with no clue what they are doing and producing nothing useful. Management seem to be happy to let quality drop in order to chase profits. Poor career opportunities.

We actively encourage different views, experiences and opinions. We have developed a global career hub allowing our colleagues to more easily browse our current jobs (currently @ around 300), tips and ideas on how to own your own career development with the support of your manager. In terms of AI, we are actively looking to develop a sustainable and financially viable long term approach to efficient, safe, ethical and smart use of AI tooling at Springer Nature.
