Pros

Summer Fridays, good vacation time/holidays, great health insurance benefits, hybrid work schedule for most.

Cons

Many departments are short staffed. You will be handling the tasks of multiple roles with no intention of hiring more staff to lighten the load or to increase your pay to match what you do. Work-life balance can be challenging. Talking to HR is of no help as HR is there to serve the company, not the employees.

Thank you for sharing your experiences having been with Springer Nature for more than 20 years. We take all feedback seriously and we want all our colleagues to grow their long term careers with us and, for those who have been with us for sometime, to be clear about what we stand for and have the support to develop and speak up. We gather feedback from employee survey's and our Exec Committee goes through the results with care to identify any topics to be addressed in a global scale. As a result we have taken action and some examples of this is our workation policy, flexible working policy, we have rebranded, added a global career hub for advice and tips for owning career progression and we have several on-going training sessions for global managers. Without knowing the specifics regarding your statement about the Human Resources team, it is difficult to address your comment. However, I can share that HR supports and serves both employees and the company. While they ensure company policies are upheld, they also advocate for employee well-being, address concerns, and work to foster a positive and collaborative work environment.

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.
