Elsevier reviews

Little-to-no technically savvy managers, promotion of non-technical roles to engineering leadership roles, no promotions for technical personnel, low compensation, very little respect for direct contributors, almost no recognition of strong performers under poor managers. Very heavy on managers and light on leaders basically. They talk a good game, but when it comes to action, there is none. This is basically a great place to start out given the brand recognition and scale of problem sets, but there are no growth opportunities for engineers. Elsevier acquires technology - they don't build it.

Lack of progression and vision for the future
