Pros

Amazing colleagues, lots of smart, curious and collaborative people. A lot of opportunities to be involved in different projects and initiative that enrich your work life and offer development. Good benefits.

Cons

Top down hierarchy and rigid structures. Most things take a long time to happen and there is a lack of ownership and decision power beyond the most senior leaders.

Thank you for your review. We have a highly collaborative, intellectually stimulating, and purpose-focused culture. Colleagues are empowered to drive open science and make a tangible global impact across health, climate, and education and this opens the door for curiosity. The environment we work in embraces transparency and global collaboration, championing the idea that publishing is just the first step in advancing human progress. This purpose and sense of belonging is rewarding for many of us. With such a high collaboration across the group, we do reflect and sometimes take time to make a decision - allowing us to show consensus. Work life balance and workplace wellbeing are important allowing us to have a healthy balance with family and friends. Thanks again.

Thank you. At Springer Nature, India is the second-largest source of submissions to our journals, and globally, it is the third-highest contributor to research. Importantly, this growth is not limited to publication volume. In parallel, there’s a steady increase in the impact and quality of India’s research. India is the third-highest contributor to the top 10% highly cited articles, and ranks among the top three nations for high-impact research in applied, physical, and life sciences. Indeed, nearly 70% of all articles are published in the top 50% of journals across all subject areas. We have many highly talented colleagues across the globe, some with Phd's and many without. This year we have focused on skills and hosted many careers growth week sessions which gives our colleagues insight to other opportunities and ideas and tips on how to take ownership of your own career progression so please look out for the next one.

Thanks for your review from India. We are proud that we publish a vast collection of academic books, journals, and monographs exploring the intersections of India's society, traditions, and belief systems. Key publications cover historical contexts, environmental philosophies, and modern sociocultural shifts. Our people and culture of learning and growth allows for a healthy working environment. Work life balance and generous policies allow for flexibility and respect and valuable time with family and friends. We continue to grow in India as the region has the largest percentage of hiring globally across all our locations. When we make people related decisions impacting headcount, we would first look to prioritize laternal moves internally. India has the largest percentage of IJPs.
