Pros
Good Benefits. Ok Salary. Networking and design.
Cons
Elsevier is cheap. Elsevier doesn't like to spend money. Cheap cheap very cheap pinny pinching cheap. You get what you pay for. They partnered with a non profit to build a data center. They also kept the head quarters in Dayton for LexisNexis instead of moving it to Columbus or NY like Bloomberg Law. The Dayton campus is really run down and dumpy. Even NCR left Dayton. They like to spend the money on acquisitions instead of infrastructure and talent or people. Ohio State University rates higher than University of Dayton or Wright State and they employ a lot of UD people instead of employing Ohio State University or Clemson grads like Emily Thompson who won the Goldwater and the Astronaut Award. University of Michigan rates higher than University of Dayton but so much for talent. They were also not supportive of innovation. The Bitcoin Asic was a big opportunity they missed out on and it cost them 100 million+. They also liked code reviews instead of using the agile model. People would fight in the code reviews.
