      Stable, occasionally innovative, well-intentioned market leader - but you'll have to fight for time career development

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Large, stable (in aggregate), international - both by office location and outlook. Genuine commitment to accelerating science and health outcomes. Employees have deep backgrounds and expertise in our markets (science/health). Generally a fair and considerate place of work.

      Cons

      Slow to change and to move. A silo'd organisation (functionally). You have to take full responsibility for your own career development. In spite of best intentions, Elsevier is often the lightning rod for complaints about the system of academic publishing.

      Professional, stable environment though a little behind the times

      Creative manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great work-life balance. Great benefits — including two days off a year to volunteer at the place of your choosing. Stable. Professional.

      Cons

      Company overall is a little behind the times. Also, not the most exciting environment. Most people tend to side with the "safe" choice versus the "innovative" one. As with most large companies, there is a lot of red tape. Needs to be more transparency and communication among the different divisions — specifically product, marketing, and sales.
