Great place to work!

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people and highly collaborative environment with an open culture. Good opportunities for career development as the company is still growing even post merger

Cons

Just gone through a merger so understandably there are many negative people who can be toxic to the culture. Ex-Nature culture is very risk averse and slow to change

Business Outlook

Pros

Work like balance. Only one project to work. Work from home is available, salary will get on time. No work pressure. No need to travel in india. good for those who wanted to get job in Pune. Get 40% hike if you demand.

Cons

There is big communication gap of SAP department with management. be ready for fake lies. Few people do lot of gossips than work. No cubical is there so every one is watching, what you doing exactly. No new quality of work , will get same and same work for n number of times. appraisal depend on your relationship with managers rather than work you do. onsite will get 15 days max in a year.

Business Outlook

Pros

The only "pro" of working at Springer is that the company is so woefully disorganized that you can get away with doing any real work. It's the kind of place where your manager is either too incompetent or too checked out to care whether or not you disappear for a few hours. No one is running the ship, therefore, no one cares where it is heading.

Cons

Springer is among the most demoralizing workplaces I've ever been in. The company is constantly changing everything about its business practices, rolling out programs before critical errors are resolved, and reshuffling employees. The addition of Nature Publishing Group is only going to make matters worse, as Palgrave and Nature are just as poorly managed (though both companies are under the impression that Springer is a bastion of organization).
