Pros

Employees are great, made many friends at Elsevier.

Cons

Company is in a major transition from print to digital. In its panic to move the business forward, looking more at short-term than long term

Working at Elsevier

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

The best thing about working at Elsevier is the people, their inspirational. If you have a 'can do' attitude and are willing to work in a fast paced, ever changing environment, you will be recognized and rewarded. It's full-filling to be part of an organization that is pivotal in getting information to medical practitioners that really need it, in a way that’s critical, timely and relevant. The benefits packages are also fantastic and Elsevier supports flexible working.

Cons

Elsevier has office locations worldwide, the one I work in is a little isolated but saying that nearly everything you need is on site i.e., canteen, gym, recreation area and we're only a short car journey from a few decent pubs.
