Pros

An established company. Also, continuing to have the pleasure to work with colleagues from 'the old days,' from companies acquired by Elsevier. 401K plan is decent.

Cons

After enough time, you will feel--rightly so--concerned of an imminent lay off, and if it doesn't happen to you, it will happen to colleagues near and far. Favorites of management are promoted over those who can bring education, experience, and skills to a role. Health insurance is terrible. Elsevier is always moaning about costs and how wonderful their benefits are, even though you have to pay more for less coverage each year. Bonuses pale in comparison to other publishers, esp. in the private sector.
