Pros

It's been almost an year since I switched and moved to Elsevier and it's been one of the best decisions I've made. True that the pay is not extremely high when compared to other product companies, but it's reasonably good. The benefits that comes with being an employee is very good, like WFH, cab facilities, flexible work hours and a lot more. The best thing is how the people are treated here. Everyone is very respectful and very friendly, with loads of positive vibes that makes it very easy on the mind to be part of the company.

Cons

I wouldn't call it a con, but the learning curve is slow, but steady. You get to explore a lot of things but it takes time because that's how it works here. It's not for people who want to learn things quickly and move on to other companies. This company is for people who want to stay with the company on a long run.

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.

Pros

Every direct manager I've had has been excellent: supportive, positive, and trusting me to deliver good work instead of micromanaging. Employees tend to stay, which suggests stability even if not everyone gets promotions or significant raises.

Cons

The pressure to outsource as much as possible, which is common at every publisher, leads to frustration. Because promotions or significant raises seem to be rare, you may be stuck in neutral unless you're very openly ambitious.
