Springer - the language of complacency

Editor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits -- Generous vacation, sick, and personal time off. Summer hours. Life, medical, dental, vision. 401k. Merit and non-merit based bonuses.

Cons

Beer at the summer picnic is domestic, flat, and warm. Your starting salary is basically where you will stay. Upper management caps DEPARTMENT salary increases at 3% -- so if your neighbor gets a 5% raise, then you're only getting 1%. Hard to get anything better unless you get promoted; which is not really that hard to do, but as others have said, only if your boss is willing to fight for you. Open office concept means you will NOT have a private office, walls, or a door -- even as a senior editor. Oh, and one of the senior managers made egregious sexual advances toward me. Not indicative of all bosses, most were cool, but... Watch your back, girls!

Political and Ridiculous. You wont get anywhere in this company unless you know the right people.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good Work/Life Balance and Great Location

Cons

Management Mistreats their Subordinates and treat the Licensing Support as if they were their very own maids. Management got to where they are because of the fact that they do not care about anyone else but themselves, lest of all, those who look to them for direction in their own jobs. Salaries are Low and there is little chance to move around within the company.

Pros

Your colleagues. Work from home option (but they do threaten to take this away)

Cons

Cracks in upper management filter down the chain. Very poor salaries and a toxic environment

Springer Nature Response

Sorry to read your thoughts after being with the Springer Nature family for over 4 years and I'd like to take time to respond to your points. Our hybrid working policy allows flexibility but also encourages colleagues to come to work to foster a healthy collaborative team culture, learn from each other and build strong relationships. Many of our colleagues enjoy this hybrid working. On training, we have recently launched an enhanced career hub which guides colleagues on ideas to encourage career & talent development; please take a look at this. We do have leadership training and the first phase of this went live this year. In term of salary, we benchmark and reward our colleagues according to our industry and we offer a generous and flexible benefits plan in the UK with other benefits like Workation allowing colleagues to work from another location for 20 days and blend holiday and work.
