A place to make mistakes and move on

Pros

- Everyone is so stretched thin they aren't noticing what you are delivering. As such if you want to hit the ball out of the park you can safely do so, and even if you make a mistake no one has the time or care to reprimand you. Great to learn from and move on. - Products are well known in the market so you are seen to be aligned to a good 'brand'

Cons

- (Similar to above) Everyone is so stretched thin they aren't noticing what you are delivering. This means that recognition is hard to get. - There is absolutely no care for people development. - Talent acquisition and retention is non-existent - They value cost savings over quality service delivery

Pros

Decent benefits, decent pay.

Cons

You can be unrecognized for your efforts as management is located out of state/country. You can become invisible.

Pros

Reed Elsevier provides a decent salary and package, compared to the rest of the industry, which is in dire straits.. Some nice co-workers made the experience pleasant on a day to day basis. Management is pleasant on the face of it, as it is most places in publishing, but gives poor, useless, or no feedback while a project is going on. It has a good reputation in an industry which has the shakes, thanks to diversified products that keep its neck above water.

Cons

There is poor communication throughout the system, a throwback to an era when things moved along at a lazy pace in publishing. But it matters a lot today. Heavy on the politics, even to the detriment of work time.
