Pros

- dev days allow you to spend a day studying a tech thing that's hopefully relevant to your job. Not PTO, but similar, since no work tasks on that day - it's a corporation, so plenty of places to get help - christmas bonus - great work life balance (I know a professor who is a full time programmer here)

Cons

- pay is average. Not bad though - Tasks are unevenly distributed, so some teams work all day long and others not so much

Pros

Elsevier operates in a stable market and is very employee centric. I began working with them after they acquired my company and I feel like I’ve ended up in good hands.

Cons

Big ships turn slow and that is certainly the case with Elsevier. They are slow to adopt new tactics and adjust to trends. They also operate lean and if not for the culture I’d certainly be looking for equivalent jobs with more competitive pay.

No healthcare or cafeteria benefits, Onboarding training is poorly carried out, no clearly defined expectations of the role.
