Pros

Great office location (close to the canal and with excellent public transport) and facilities, including a canteen. Nice colleagues and extra work activities, including mega Christmas parties.

Cons

Low pay. Failure to properly address and handle bad management.

Thank you for sharing. Our London campus is indeed great and with our thriving employee networks and welcoming culture it's a pleasure to come to work. Our Summer and Xmas parties are very popular I agree. Flexibility and hybrid working works well and gives the blend of work life balance and the opportunity to mix and learn from highly talented colleagues across the globe. The importance of consistent experiences for colleagues relating to their management is crucial and we have a leadership programme to instil this and our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace. We do regularly review salaries which are in line with our industry currently. Thanks again.

Pros

The people: everyone I've worked with is friendly and passionate about science and publishing. The brand: I feel very proud to work for an employer with a mission to inform/educate and progress science. The commitment to diversity: it is the first time in my 10-year recruitment experience (and previous publishing experience) that I am part of a company that is trying so proactively to increase diversity and be truly inclusive. There is a great support system through the Employee Networks and lots of training available about DEI. International publisher: since I joined Springer Nature I have worked with colleagues from all over the world which is the best part of my job, being able to learn and connect with different cultures on a daily basis. The chance to have a say: there are regular events where we can ask senior leadership questions and have a say. I feel like I matter which wasn't the case when I worked in another publishing house previously. Training opportunities and career development: again, this is a big focus at Springer Nature and employees are encouraged to develop/learn/apply for other positions within the group. The office: the London office is very cool, very convenient location and very nice space. We also have access to a small subsidised canteen/cafe which is handy and cheap.

Cons

Like a lot of big companies, it can be risk-adverse which means that it is sometimes a bit slow to change and some processes can seem redundant. But it's still a forward-thinking compared to a lot of publishing companies. And that means also a lot of stability so half con/half pro.

As we continue to grow you're right we need to keep an eye on pace and improve processes on an ongoing basis as we continue to partner collaboratively with our wider across the globe.
