      Pros

      If you want to make an impact, Elsevier is the kind of place that lets you push beyond limits, beyond your job description, beyond your "rank" in the company. Initiative is welcomed here. Employees who identify a problem or a challenge can form coalitions, devise solutions, and get things done. Elsevier is a truly global company. You work with people of all nationalities in multiple locations. And because of that, you gain a wide perspective that informs your daily work and decisions. Elsevier is at a stage in its storied history where it is moving far beyond it's publishing heritage. Advances in data science and machine learning now make it possible to extract intelligence and insight from Elsevier's trove of data and highly structured information. Certainly every big company today is becoming a "big-data company" but in Elsevier's case, there is a potential to advance science and health and contribute an extraordinary impact. The people at Elsevier around the world are well-educated, engaged, dedicated, and care deeply about what they do. You rarely come across anybody just punching the clock here. It's exciting to be a part of this.

      Cons

      Elsevier has a long history and with that comes a fantastic foundation of content, data, and operational expertise; but it also comes with baggage. legacy systems, legacy policies, and bureaucracy are the norm for well-established companies and Elsevier is no different in that regard. But when you make that breakthrough, or cross that milestone at Elsevier, it's all the more satisfying to see the difference you are making , and the difference that the company can make. It's tougher to make a career for employees outside our corporate centers. The onus is on you to build you network (often virtual) and gain visibility. Elsevier demands a great deal of its employees. International collaboration also comes with crazy work hours. Those who are strong at self-managing themselves will do well here. Those who are waiting for a job description and what to do will have a tough time.
