Pros

Good benefits/work life balance help offset lower than average salaries The company made a big step forward last year in cross-department collaboration, it is starting to feel like Springer Nature instead of Springer and Nature. Company is an industry leader, both in quality and scale of content as well as innovation New leadership seems more forward thinking and to want to improve the companies business systems, which have been problematic

Cons

Salaries are honestly not great, especially for a company with so many people based in New York and London. It's a fine place to build a CV at entry-level but you likely won't get a decent wage unless you are a line manager and above. While it is improving, the company is only a couple of years removed from a merger that did not go very smoothly and caused many people to leave. There are still people that think of Springer SBM and Nature Publishing Group as separate entities and favor their former colleagues over new. It's not always a Con, but depending on department it may be: This is very much a European company, so if you are based in the Americas or Asia you will often feel a bit out of the loop on major initiatives that people working in London or one of the German offices hear about early.

Extremely negative work environment in Asia

Pros

An okay place if you can bear with the amount of internal politics going on everyday. Colleagues are friendly if their roles do not have direct working relationship with you.

Cons

Most colleagues you have to work aren’t helpful, need to watch your back all the time because people here seem to be looking out for opportunities to stab at each other. The managers and directors are all not getting along to improve things, they just fight with one another. This makes it hard for advancement The facilities and tools (internet, systems, computer and software) provided are outdated compared to competitors. It makes work more inefficient and more labor required for the same tasks. The management is disconnected from the realities at the ground. Compensation and benefits are below average.
