Thank you for leaving your review. We take your input seriously, but need to delve more into the issues highlighted in your review. We want to investigate the issues raised. Our recent employee opinion survey shows strong positive momentum in how people experience working here, but it appears that hasn’t been the case here. We aim to be a workplace where all employees trust their leaders and feel supported by our HR team. We want our organisation to continue to be an excellent place for all our people to work, where our employees feel valued and have equal opportunities regardless of where they’re located. If you prefer, feel free to reach out to us at elseviergdrev@elsevier.com to provide more information. Again, thanks for your review.

Thank you for your review. Compensation is always a hot topic in any industry. Here, we benchmark our salaries externally; we use both a general benchmark and a job-specific benchmark to ensure we stay competitive. We offer competitive rates plus an array of great benefits.
