      Quiet firing and toxicity, DO NOT WORK HERE!

      Pros

      Diversity and inclusion, alternate Friday off

      Cons

      Incompetence at even the highest levels, favouritism, gaslighting talented employees, breaking their confidence and eventually driving them out of the company, unfair promoting practices such as promoting poor performers. Insecure managers who are more bosses than leaders and push down people who are smarter than them. Whistleblowing and grievance reporting go through the manager or their manager, so there's no way of speaking up against corruption. Diversity initiatives are great in theory but cis white straight males get special preference. Many publishing colleagues don't even have university degrees because those with higher education are working in jobs at Springer that they are overqualified for.

      Sorry to read your review which is not in line with our culture at Springer Nature where we thrive on diversity, equity and inclusion. Our 10 employee networks focus on fostering dialogue around DEI, community building, advice, advocacy and sustainability. We have an anonoymous Speak up programme that is entirely separate from the manager of the manager and concerns or complaints raised go directly to our compliance team. I would encourage you to speak up or talk to your local or global HR contact to discuss the concerns you have raised. We also have a free and confidential employee assistance programme which offers well being support as well as legal and financial guidance. This is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days in a year and is free of charge to all colleagues and members of their household.

      Profit first, people second

      Pros

      The team members are great.

      Cons

      The company is constantly changing policies and workflows without listening to the people who actually use them on a daily basis. Hard work is rewarded with more work and no recognition.

      Thank you. At Springer Nature we work closely with a large global community of academic researchers and educators who, through their work, aim to leave the world better than they found it, As one of the world's largest publishers of research and education content, our sustainable strategy considers both what we do to open doors to discovery as well as how we do it. Many of our almost 10,000 colleagues are proud of the work they do which directly impacts the environment and our society. We do listen and respond to colleague feedback and have committed new resources to help colleagues take ownership of their career. We created a global colleague career hub which is a one stop shop for our people to bring together resources, training, and events to help take ownership of their career. For colleagues who are new and others, like yourself, who have been with us for many years, we want to be clear about what we stand for and ensure that all colleagues have the support to develop and speak up with ideas. We want to be clear what our people can expect back from Springer Nature to nurture their plans. We recognise and respect all contributions of the great work and without our fantastic colleagues we wouldn't be able to deliver on our mission to help scientists and educators find solutions for our generations to come. HR supports and serves both employees and the company. While they ensure company policies are upheld, they also advocate for employee well-being, address concerns, and work to foster a positive and collaborative work environment.
