      Too much management & too corporate, poor health benefits

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lots of smart people and people trying to do innovative work in healthcare tech

      Cons

      Poor healthcare benefits and bad PTO policy. The company seems to seriously struggle with too many people in management positions (I swear there are like 200 VPs on the org chart), too much politics, too much time spent trying to portray a startup image instead of actually acting like a startup image, etc. There are too many people vying to decide what work should be done as opposed to focusing on the work that is being done on the ground.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work with a competent, helpful team; Work from home on Tuesdays (for content team); High visibility with management on small team; Frequent lunches and outings as a group

      Cons

      Greater Elsevier is a huge corporation, so there's some siloing and potential frustrations associated with that, but haven't had to deal with any of that.
