Pros

Intelligent co-workers, pleasant office (this is the downtown office at 1 NY Plaza), decent benefits

Cons

Currently involved in a major transition due to the merger of Springer and Nature; many systems (payroll, HR, IT, etc. as well as production systems, other business systems, online platform etc.) have been changed within the last year or so or will soon, and the transitions have been distinctly rocky (e.g. network outages, inability to print, new online HR system not compatible with current versions of most browsers, etc.) Company is currently in cost-cutting and standardization mode that runs the risk of greatly reducing the value added they provide to customers, which could ultimately cause them to wither on the vine as authors and customers simply switch to free online preprint servers and the like.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts from our New York office. We have a great team; our purpose and culture continue to be 'stand out' and some of the reasons so many colleagues stay with us longer term. We are collaborative and progressive and everyday we contribute to learnings for generations to come.

Thank you for sharing your review. We kicked off our second Career Growth Week so far this year with a focus on feedback which underpins growth at every level. Alongside the flagship sessions, colleagues took part in a wide range of virtual events across the week. These included popular sessions like building skills through feedback, Forward Talk, AI-powered feedback, “expert” careers and mentoring panels, the Facilitation Marathon, and a LinkedIn personal branding workshop, as well as practical learning through the Level up: boost your skills and Talent Attraction sessions. Perhaps look out for the next one which will be in a few months time. Colleague development is core to our organisation.
