Thank you for your review. Compensation is always a hot topic in any industry. Here at Elsevier, we benchmark our salaries externally to ensure we stay competitive. Your manager does not decide your compensation. We take your review seriously but there’s the need to delve more into the issues highlighted in your review. We need to take action to investigate the issue raised. Our recent employee opinion survey shows strong positive momentum in how people experience working at Elsevier, but it appears that hasn’t been the case here. We want to ensure that Elsevier is a place where all employees trust leaders and feel supported. We want our organization to continue to be a great place for all our people to work, where our employees feel valued and have equal opportunities regardless of where they’re located. If you prefer, feel free to reach out to us at elseviergdrev@elsevier.com to provide more information. Again, thanks for your review.

Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, you are a former employee, so investigating any issues may be difficult without any further information. We take your review seriously. However, our recent employee opinion survey shows strong positive momentum in how people experience working at Elsevier, but it appears that hasn’t been the case here. We have over 8,000 employees worldwide and in different locations, so gathering more information for us to be able to investigate this will be helpful. If you prefer, feel free to reach out to us at elseviergdrev@elsevier.com to provide more information. Again, thanks for your review.
