Pros

Supportive team, modern office, and flexible remote working options.

Cons

While the company has potential, management is often unsupportive, and these concerns are not adequately addressed. There is a noticeable lack of focus on fostering an inclusive and supportive environment. Diversity seems to be overlooked, with promotions often favoring certain groups, which can create a discouraging atmosphere for non-white employees. This is not a welcoming environment for those seeking fairness and growth, especially if you value diversity and inclusion.

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. Feel free to reach out to us at elseviergdrev@elsevier.com to provide more information Thank you for staying engaged and for caring enough to share this. It matters.

Pros

-Great company -Team has talented, experienced account managers and product experts who know the territory well

Cons

West team management is heavy on micromanagement and sets unrealistic territory targets without rep input — high turnover, and long tenure in company seems to shield this manager from accountability and growth
