Pros

I appreciate working alongside highly skilled individuals who are well-rounded amazing people at Elsevier. As a remote employee who participates in flexible working, I feel immensely capable of contributing to my workday with high-value outputs while I also care for my family and attend my children's events.

Cons

Salaries are below market value.

Pros

Work-life balance is outstanding at Elsevier, and managers sincerely care about you and your well being.

Cons

Almost no opportunities for promotion no matter how hard you work; very low recognition of excellent performance. Elsevier puts a lot of effort into recruitment, not retention of employees.
