Springer Nature Response

Thank you for sharing your review from Mexico. We do have flexible working, however, in the first year in some countries, this is less common whilst colleagues onboard and learn. Springer Nature is a global business with a unique culture. Our people are passionate about making an impact for our customers and for society.
