Pros

Every team is so different, and the good teams are great. There is a strong sense of international camaraderie with some amazingly friendly and kind people. Some of the kindest I have worked with. The opportunities for career development are endless, and international travel is frequent. At times working here was exhilarating.

Cons

The bad teams lack leadership, morale and cooperation. I moved between 3 teams during my time at Springer Nature and it was almost like moving into a different company, each one was so vastly different. At times, working here was so demoralising and stagnant. So much so that I eventually left.

Thank you for sharing your review and sorry to hear that you had a less positive experience in one of key Netherlands offices. We appreciate all feedback and strive to improve and offer consistent experiences for our colleagues as their learning journey continues and it's a shame that you left us. It is our mission to help the community to discover, learn and achieve more. We serve this cause by making knowledge accessible across our three business areas of Research, Education and Professional. At Springer Nature, our values and ways of working are more than words on a screen. They are lived across the organisation by our people. Each of our four values - Partnership, Integrity, Drive and Responsibility - is directly linked to two ways in which we work.

A great flexible empoyer

Pros

There’s a great deal of flexibility and trust in my role, which I really value. The perks are excellent, working in the office only two days a week, a policy that even senior management follows, which is refreshing. We are able to finish early in the summer adding to the work-life balance. As a working mum, I truly appreciate these flexibility

Cons

I don't think there are any cons. I feel like the salaries are competitive although I don't know too much about other companies. The work and people are interesting and I have developed my career at Springer Nature.

Stable but stagnant

Pros

Good place to work if you like a stable working environment and not too much change. Work life balance is good and there are genuine efforts to improve things like the gender pay gap and diversity in leadership. Most colleagues are talented and pleasant to work with.

Cons

Senior leadership can be risk averse following the IPO.
