Pros

Working for Springer Nature enabled me to explore and apply cutting edge technology to user problems. Work life balance, career progression, DEI and contributing to the SDGs have been genuinely important themes.

Cons

Scientific publishing is at times too traditional and conservative although alternative solutions are out there. Also, commercial research publishers are heavily criticized by the communities they serve for high profit margins.

Thank you for sharing. We aim to be the leading SDG Publisher and we are working hard towards carbon neutrality to reduce our carbon footprint. We do have a strong culture and we all take responsibility to work together and support the global community of academic researchers and educators. Our business is rich in diversity and as we continue to grow we do need to be bold and continue to innovate and as you say re-imagine.

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.
