Springer Nature reviews

No real direction. Sloppy sales organization. Haphazard updates and policy/procedure decisions. Constant meetings considered to be communication. Lax standards and SOPs. Lax data collection but a heavy emphasis on data integrity. Antiquated CRM. Emphasis of projects over progression. Just a stressful and unhelpful environment with no foresight to enhance systems or progress. Advancement opportunities are few but available; interviewing though is harsh and unrealistic. I’d never work here again.

- The whole "helping people save the world and do great things" line becomes a bit sour when you realise that many of the scientists who use their products actually hate them for profiteering - There are some definite cliques within the offices, and you can feel quite left out if you're not in one of them, also, there's a definite rivalry between different offices and departments, with some thinking that they are better than others - Since the merger, there has been a definite lack of control of the purse strings and the direction of the company, leading to cutbacks in some vital areas, and some desperately worrying decisions - Middle management can, at times, be quite opaque, with some managers being too busy to be approachable, and others failing to give their reports the information they need to improve and succeed - The company culture has become less familial and more corporate, which is understandable to a point, but it can be quite jarring if you have been in the company since before the merger.
