Pros
Elsevier offers a decent salary and 401k match. Depending on the department, there is possible opportunity to travel, flexible work hours and work-from-home.
Cons
In general, management does not support employees through mentorship, educational opportunities, or by promoting career interests. Management DOES support competitive behavior, finger-pointing, and shouting. (Yes, shouting.) Also, if you giggle and drink with the CMO, you may get noticed. Try not to introduce modern digital marketing concepts or exercise original ideas. Snarkiness aside, the marketing team in my division lost 6 or 7 people in 2016, and my immediate team lost 3 people in the last 6 months. 'nuff said. Average vacation (2 weeks, 3 if you negotiate), and terrible medical benefits.
