Great start... poor finish

Pros

Elsevier provides you with a pretty solid opportunity in the beginning. They provide you with plenty of training and ability to grow.

Cons

They decide to outsource you and 60+ other people to Asia, AFTER you go across seas and help train their new people. Even with proven metrics that their plan is failing, they keep following along because the bosses somewhere 3,000 miles away decided it was the right thing to do.

Challenging but Interesting Work

Pros

Nice PTO; decent benefits with solid 401k company match (though benefits have been trimmed in recent years, the reductions are similar to those at other companies); challenging and interesting work as the company and industry continue to go through a major transition; an increasing willingness to look at existing processes and test ways to improve (not always successful, but steps in the right direction)

Cons

Increasing workloads due to changes in markets (need to do more with less, as in other companies and industries)
