      A Nightmare in the works..Folks stay clear of such a place. A Hire & Fire Management to never think about working for...

      Project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If there was an option for 0 stars I would probably go for that. I liked working at Crest till the time I was walking the Manager walk after that it was hell's road to put it lightly. The minute you oppose the management's decisions this place forgets the hours and dedication one has put into the company.

      Cons

      The HR & Senior Management needs to be trained on how to run a company. These people wouldn't think of the person and his commitments just their own gain. They will put you on a pedestal if they think they can squeeze more work out of you. Once the project is done you don't get proper appreciation. The Management at Crest asks a person to leave if they feel like. If you ask to speak to the CEO he will avoid you and not talk to you almost like he was afraid of meeting you. It was very strange and unprofessional to experience such characters in a work place environment. Their Hire & Fire policy remains the same 3 yrs on I still hear of Crest firing folks who have been loyal to them for more than 6 yrs. Now they seem to be losing business as well. If things don't improve they might just find themselves back in Giga Space or worse.

      Do you really want to commit career suicide?

      Junior copy editor

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.

      Avoid academic publishing overall

      Senior editor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are can be awesome people but smart ones quickly realize it is not the place to be and leave. All smart/ambitions people leave pretty quickly realizing how sh*t of a company SN is.

      Cons

      SN is truly the worst publishing house to work for. Salaries are so low, they are definitively not proportionate to the workload. Everything is being automated and sent to India, so all US and UK editors will be replaced by Indian outsources (just like they replaced all editorial assistants a few years ago). Commissioning targets are super high and unrealistic. Editors have to put zero thought into reading/evaluating proposals since their workload is so bad. AVOID.

      Sorry to read your review and your perspective of Springer Nature. Disappointed to read this particularly as Springer Nature is truly a people business and our work touches millions of people every day. We are proud of our fantastic colleagues and the communities we work with as well as the wider public who benefit from the research we publish. Like any global business we are looking to make efficiencies but we are also committed to retaining our talented colleagues who are made up of dedicated, passionate and highly trained colleagues. Our salaries are benchmarked to the industry standards and our flexible and generous benefits prove popular (hybrid working, Workation to name just 2). Interestingly our turnover is quite low globally and work life balance is proving very popular with colleagues who enjoy the dynamic culture.
