Business Outlook

Pros

Some teams offer great working set up and culture, but overall, leadership is disorganized

Cons

The company struggles with high turnover due to unclear expectations and poor management. Future employees should ensure they get responsibilities and expectations in writing.

Springer Nature Response

Thanks for sharing your view. We do pride ourselves on our great people and we do have highly skilled colleagues working to support our dynamic business. Actually our turnover is globally quite low and although some teams naturally have higher turnover this is depending on the nature of the role. As the leading publisher of the world's most prestigious journals we serve as a trusted partner and most of our colleagues have a good working experience with us. Please speak to your local HR contact if you need support.

Pros

Nothing environment is different inside

Cons

Politics, rude behaviour of leads, work culture

Springer Nature Response

I'm very sorry to read your thoughts on experiences about the culture which is disappointing especially as you had been with us for such a long time. We look to foster a culture where everyone feels supported and safe; behaviour that is rude and / or inappropriate is not tolerated in any of our offices by anyone.
