Pros

Good people, interesting industry challenges to solve

Cons

Boys club with little change. "Stab in the back" culture, becoming UK-centric vs, global, New York office is being cut, not an innovative culture. You're fine if you're in UK

Thank you for your review. We are aware that we have many acronyms which could be a bit challenging for new starters. This is why we have the Elsevier Dictionary of Terms (EDOT) on the Intranet. It's handy for all employees to refer to. Please look it up and bookmark it. By now, you must have taken part in one of our strategy cascade sessions or any of your team's ongoing strategy-related initiatives. If not, ask your manager.
