Pros
Work life balance is amazing, though I’m sure it depends on who you report to. But most managers are very flexible it seems. Elsevier tries hard to provide a good working environment and have on site events throughout the year. They’re not that amazing to be honest, but you can tell they’re trying. Vast majority of people, even the Director level and executives are approachable and down to earth.
Cons
The pay is dismal. They do promote from within, a lot. But that’s only if someone leaves. Getting a promotion based on work performance or increased workload happens insanely slow. It literally takes years.
