Pros

The company is supportive of flexible working hours to fit personal needs as long as commitments are met. They also promote community involvement. Very competitive wages and benefits.

Cons

An Amsterdam based company currently focused on building a younger European workforce and managing out the mature US labor staff. The exit of vast experience and tribal knowledge (both managed and those who disagreed with the direction and left on their own) hinders progress.

Pros

I have worked at Elsevier for a long time now, and I can't imagine I would ever leave. The work-life balance is outstanding, managers are extremely competent, the work is very exciting, and overall, you feel like a person who matters every single day.

Cons

I have to really think about this to come up with something. The only thing I've got is that there is a disconnect between what is happening in departments and higher management - but I think that is often true at a lot of companies.

Pros

You are treated as an adult, no hand holding. I was able to gain a lot of valuable work experience.

Cons

They rarely hire recent graduates, but I believe they are trying to change that.
