Pros

There’s a great deal of flexibility and trust in my role, which I really value. The perks are excellent, working in the office only two days a week, a policy that even senior management follows, which is refreshing. We are able to finish early in the summer adding to the work-life balance. As a working mum, I truly appreciate these flexibility

Cons

I don't think there are any cons. I feel like the salaries are competitive although I don't know too much about other companies. The work and people are interesting and I have developed my career at Springer Nature.
