Pros

Every team is so different, and the good teams are great. There is a strong sense of international camaraderie with some amazingly friendly and kind people. Some of the kindest I have worked with. The opportunities for career development are endless, and international travel is frequent. At times working here was exhilarating.

Cons

The bad teams lack leadership, morale and cooperation. I moved between 3 teams during my time at Springer Nature and it was almost like moving into a different company, each one was so vastly different. At times, working here was so demoralising and stagnant. So much so that I eventually left.

Thank you for sharing your review and sorry to hear that you had a less positive experience in one of key Netherlands offices. We appreciate all feedback and strive to improve and offer consistent experiences for our colleagues as their learning journey continues and it's a shame that you left us. It is our mission to help the community to discover, learn and achieve more. We serve this cause by making knowledge accessible across our three business areas of Research, Education and Professional. At Springer Nature, our values and ways of working are more than words on a screen. They are lived across the organisation by our people. Each of our four values - Partnership, Integrity, Drive and Responsibility - is directly linked to two ways in which we work.

Thank you for sharing. Many of the 10,000 people across the world who work for Springer Nature, previously worked as scientists, teachers or academics. This is why it comes naturally to us to stay grounded in the needs of our communities, and work with them to develop new products, services and systems, that they can trust and that really meet their needs. Our culture of collaboration and support enables open conversations and being in the office 2 days a week helps foster a more healthy learning culture as we come together and have valuable time together.

After early two centuries of progress and advancement in science and education we continue to shape the business we are today. Research and learning continues to be the cornerstone of progress, and we will continue to open doors to discovery through trusted brands and innovative products and services. Springer Nature was created in May 2015 through the combination of Nature Publishing Group, Macmillan Education and Springer Science+Business Media. We do continue to look to invest in our colleague development, however, colleagues are encouraged to actively stretch their horizons and take ownership of their own development and over 21% of our hiring is internal. We strive to increase this even further now we have adapted to become a skills based organisation.
