Pros

Working at Springer Group is a very enriching experience: all the tools are available, there's a lot of order and it's easy to learn when you start your contract.

Cons

Pushed to an extreme level, this order and these processes are sometimes to the detriment of productivity. As a project manager, I'm relatively limited when it comes to taking decisions on my own projects. Because of a lack of autonomy and trust, certain deadlines are missed and certain external commercial relationships are damaged, which is a real shame when you're working towards a common goal. By the same token, the learning process at the start of the contract is one-sided: I show you and you watch. There is very little room for "you fly on your own wings and I'll catch you up if need be".

Thanks for sharing. We are very proud of our supportive and open culture. We do have extensive resources to help colleagues keep on top of the latest thinking and encourage everyone to be open to new ideas and develop. Interesting your point about learning, we have recently created a new learning & career hub for all global colleagues to have access to tools, tips and ideas on their development so we can improve the experiences. Our innovative and inspiring culture is rewarding and our people make it unique and a special place to make a positive impact and contribute to some of the worlds greatest challenges.

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.
