      Pros

      Most regular employees are professional, educated and nice people. Multicultural environment and opportunities for travel. Flexible work schedule is a big plus. Benefits package is decent but not exceptional.

      Cons

      Pay is average. Matrix management is rather dysfunctional.

      This was a decent first job but doesn't provide much room to grow and has recently become an unhealthy work environment.

      Pros

      They are generous with vacation time. You receive 3 weeks of vacation at the end of two years of work. you also get an additional three days of personal time and two weeks of sick time. There is also an opportunity to volunteer two days out of the year.

      Cons

      Elsevier currently does not provide much job security. They are cutting jobs and sending them overseas. They also try to save money by not allowing managers to fill open positions and instead have the existing employees fill the gaps. There is not much opportunity for upward mobility, it is common for employees to be stuck in the same position for many years.

      Pros

      Overall this is a great company to work for. It's an industry leader, good strategic direction and great work culture.

      Cons

      Some divisions and senior managers are deplorable, especially where the attention to cost-savings can be excruciating. Bad managers aren't re-mediated.
