Independence, intellectual stimulation, hybrid work

Cons

work/life balance, lack of flexibility - office presence required once a week without the ability to stack days, for example to go in 3 days in a row every three weeks.

Springer Nature Response

Thank you for sharing. It's indeed a stimulating culture with a company full of dedicated, curious, passionate and highly trained colleagues. Without them we simply wouldn't be able to deliver on our overall mission to help solve some of the World's greatest challenges. Our flexibility and supportive culture make it a unique and we value our people and strive to offer transparency around career development and progression. Our hybrid work from home policy is generally popular and we feel important for our culture that we still maintain colleague connections in the office as well as home working.
