Pros

Well known and respected company. Good people who are willing to share their experience. Very succesful transition of business models, from a traditional print only publishing house to a world class Online publisher. I believed the Compensation to be very competitive, it has never been a bottleneck for me, especially when taking into account the other benefits like vacation days, ATV, etc.

Cons

Leadership of Elsevier transitioned from common sense and healthy judgement into a cold calculated share houlders value model with the current management. Major overhauling took place in the Finance department mainly due to issues with "new" CFO. High turnover specifically in Finance

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.
