Pros

some social benefits (vacation days, pension) nice colleagues

Cons

a complete lack of consistent vision and strategy no customer orientation - the customer satisfaction in their products is way below any acceptable level; important decisions are not communicated to employees - people are very often unaware of the future changes in their department and their roles; spontanious, arbitrary desicion making on the top level; no innovation and backward thinking; very negative culture

Pros

Elsevier offers an enjoyable work environment where you'll be working with some talented and easy-to-get-along-with co-workers. They offer flexible hours and decent benefits.

Cons

Like every other big company it can be difficult (in software development at least) to expand your career options. Also they are very "process" driven in their software development - lots of hoops to jump through to get anything accomplished.
