Business Outlook

Pros

None that I can think off

Cons

They are predatory, unorganized, unethical

Springer Nature Response

Disappointed to read your review and especially since you have been employed with us for several years. I would suggest you may want to have a conversation with your manager or HR contact to discuss your concerns. We have zero tolerance for unethical and/or predator behaviour at Springer Nature and we pride ourselves on our welcoming and supportive culture.

Interesting job & colleagues, greedy leadership

Senior editor

Business Outlook

Pros

- Excellent colleagues - Varied and stimulating work - Freedom to work the way you see fit

Cons

- Low salary (and yes, compared with similar jobs at other companies despite their claims to benchmark salaries), and constant stonewalling of the employee union in negotiating better conditions. - Middle and upper management and HR create lots of busy work for themselves and everyone else. - Leadership are focussed on short-term gains and cost-cutting over quality and serving their community

Springer Nature Response

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We do have incredibly unique culture among our colleagues and great people. Work life balance and flexibility something we are very proud of. In terms of benefits and salary we do benchmark against our industry and something we are working on as we continue to support our colleagues and be flexible. Workation is an example which is proving very popular. Serving our community is something that is paramount to our purpose as we accelerate our growth strategically.

Good People with a long and distinguished history.

Cons

Worst micro managing and condescending manager ever. Beyond petty.

Springer Nature Response

Thank you for sharing; we are extremely proud of our heritage and people focused culture. Disappointed to hear your experience of micro-managing. This is not the behaviour we would expect from our managers and I would ask that you speak to you HR contact as soon as you can to discuss this feedback.
