n\a - Frontend Engineer BioMed Central Employee Review

Knowledgable, communicative, and fair editors.

I have no cons to express about this company.

The job is fairly easy to do once you have been fully trained. The staff are nice and there is some room for progression. The working week is only 35 hours and there is no need to take work home so it's very easy to have a work/life balance. The social aspects of the job are good.

The job is very repetitive so it can become dull quite quickly. Outside of progressing into management it is very hard to progress. If you have a PhD you can move further up the editorial ladder, otherwise most people move to different positions within Springer Nature or leave the company. The turnover in the team is really high for a number of reasons including: salary expectations, ability to progress and wanting a change in role and responsibility. The job no longer offers flexible working hours.
