Pros

Get to consult and support healthcare solutions for patients and nurses, and doctors

Cons

Upper movement can be difficult, you are not at the front of forward moving technology. Lots of people who have worked here for 23 years and are very comfortable in their roles. Millennials and Gen Z would get bored after a couple of years at this company.

Pros

Elsevier produces scientific and medical information for scientists and medical practitioners. No dangerous products that affect people or the environment. Good benefits overall.

Cons

Things move too slowly within the organization. They need to fast track changes that can make immediate impact without affecting existing functionality. Too many technical projects that cross departments without proper organization and prioritization.

Pros

Great place to get your start in software engineering - their “graduate program” is perfect for people just entering the job market with a bachelor’s. Fun culture with smart people.

Cons

Unclear direction at times - changes would come down from who knows where, asking the team to switch our focus, leading to loss of momentum. It felt like nobody was really at the helm of the ship. This could definitely vary team to team though.
