Elsevier is way behind it's competitors technology wise. Rolled out two software products that didn't work. Not up to speed with the delivery of content. Salary extremely low. Compensation plan is terrible. Medical benefits go up a lot every year. Not a lot of advancement

Thank you for this balanced and thoughtful review. We're glad to hear that our benefits and investment in people are making a positive impact, those are commitments we take seriously. On the process feedback: Leadership is actively reviewing operational workflows, and the advice to listen more closely to employee feedback is something we're holding ourselves accountable to. If you're open to it, we'd encourage you to bring specific examples forward through your team or people and culture contacts. Change is most effective when it's grounded in the real experiences of the people doing the work, and that means you.
