Do you really want to commit career suicide? - Junior Copy Editor Springer Nature Employee Review

Pros

There was only one reason I was working in Crest (Copy Editing) for -- Work from home allowance. Still, that is seasonal, which means there is workload only for 2-3 months a year. Otherwise, you only get your salary which is quite meagre.

Cons

Lack of managerial skills. There are few so-called "team leaders" who literally torture you and there are some who just love to do gossiping about their employees. Employees are not respected at all. There is this trend called "PIP" where employees are put on and are eventually fired by giving some foolish reasons. I, and many others, never understand why they hire employees in bulk when there is no workload at all.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts from our New York office. We have a great team; our purpose and culture continue to be 'stand out' and some of the reasons so many colleagues stay with us longer term. We are collaborative and progressive and everyday we contribute to learnings for generations to come.

Thank you for sharing your review. We kicked off our second Career Growth Week so far this year with a focus on feedback which underpins growth at every level. Alongside the flagship sessions, colleagues took part in a wide range of virtual events across the week. These included popular sessions like building skills through feedback, Forward Talk, AI-powered feedback, “expert” careers and mentoring panels, the Facilitation Marathon, and a LinkedIn personal branding workshop, as well as practical learning through the Level up: boost your skills and Talent Attraction sessions. Perhaps look out for the next one which will be in a few months time. Colleague development is core to our organisation.
