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.
