Pros

The people: everyone I've worked with is friendly and passionate about science and publishing. The brand: I feel very proud to work for an employer with a mission to inform/educate and progress science. The commitment to diversity: it is the first time in my 10-year recruitment experience (and previous publishing experience) that I am part of a company that is trying so proactively to increase diversity and be truly inclusive. There is a great support system through the Employee Networks and lots of training available about DEI. International publisher: since I joined Springer Nature I have worked with colleagues from all over the world which is the best part of my job, being able to learn and connect with different cultures on a daily basis. The chance to have a say: there are regular events where we can ask senior leadership questions and have a say. I feel like I matter which wasn't the case when I worked in another publishing house previously. Training opportunities and career development: again, this is a big focus at Springer Nature and employees are encouraged to develop/learn/apply for other positions within the group. The office: the London office is very cool, very convenient location and very nice space. We also have access to a small subsidised canteen/cafe which is handy and cheap.

Cons

Like a lot of big companies, it can be risk-adverse which means that it is sometimes a bit slow to change and some processes can seem redundant. But it's still a forward-thinking compared to a lot of publishing companies. And that means also a lot of stability so half con/half pro.

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.
