Pros

Elsevier is a professional, multinational publishing organization, full of smart people, and helping customers achieve amazing things. The organization is professional, with good opportunities to learn and evolve. The company is also becoming more open minded in trying new business models, and tools to support more users in scalable ways.

Cons

While there are opportunities to grow (e.g. with greater management responsibility and in title) it is extremely hard to grow compensation. Salary increases are modest, and they are often counter-balanced by cuts, e.g. in bonuses. After several years this forces many people out.

Pros

Flexible work environment, open door policy at manager level all the way up to executives at corporate headquarters in Amsterdam, good balance between work and personal life, casual atmosphere, and not afraid to spend money on training and travel.

Cons

Pay scale was lower than the average for my position, personal growth was limited due to my position, and company was spinning off a part of the business so there were some layoffs.
