Pros
Springer Nature is a really good company to work for. Most of the people I work with are pleasant, smart, and well-balanced individuals (not always the case in publishing). You have to work hard, but the compensation in terms of salary and vacation time is more than fair. If you're interested in publishing and having a good steady job, I would describe the company as a good place to grow old in. Never too much excitement, but just enough to keep you interested. I think this comes from the fact that at its origin, this was an old world German publishing house, people by academics with a strong sense of camaraderie and a good collegiate attitude.
Cons
Springer Nature is now, and has been, a global company. This is good, except that there are location differences which set conflicts on how things are, or should be, done. Sometimes one or more of the locations tries to get all the other locations to do things its own way. This is difficult because there are cultural differences in the publishing spheres of different countries. Additionally, too many employees tend to work in silos, with not much interest in how other people might be affected or impacted by what they do. This is not uncommon across horizontal units within the company.
