Pros
Good benefits/work life balance help offset lower than average salaries The company made a big step forward last year in cross-department collaboration, it is starting to feel like Springer Nature instead of Springer and Nature. Company is an industry leader, both in quality and scale of content as well as innovation New leadership seems more forward thinking and to want to improve the companies business systems, which have been problematic
Cons
Salaries are honestly not great, especially for a company with so many people based in New York and London. It's a fine place to build a CV at entry-level but you likely won't get a decent wage unless you are a line manager and above. While it is improving, the company is only a couple of years removed from a merger that did not go very smoothly and caused many people to leave. There are still people that think of Springer SBM and Nature Publishing Group as separate entities and favor their former colleagues over new. It's not always a Con, but depending on department it may be: This is very much a European company, so if you are based in the Americas or Asia you will often feel a bit out of the loop on major initiatives that people working in London or one of the German offices hear about early.
