      Great place to work, very difficult to move up

      Editorial assistant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fantastic benefits; fun, casual work atmosphere; entry level salary is higher than at comparable firms. Flexible work hours, and strong sense of unity among editorial units.

      Cons

      Raises are hard to come by, and promotions are even more difficult. Instead of being promoted for doing good work, you have to hope the department head asks for a "new position" and then you can apply for it - against the other eight EAs in your division. Different departments (editorial, production, accounting) butt heads frequently.

      Nice people, lousy opportunities

      Assistant editor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The best reason to work at Springer was the opportunity to travel and interact with learned and interesting authors, editors, and colleagues around the world. I enjoyed learning about the content areas and developing a network among leaders in the field. Colleagues, at least in the Massachusetts offices, were great to work with, and maintained a family atmosphere.

      Cons

      The compensation was meager and the path to career development was extremely unclear. Performance had little impact on career advancement or salary decisions, and employees outside of the major European offices or New York had even fewer opportunities.

      The highs are high. The lows are low.

      Business Outlook

      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.
