Pros

Good benefits, generous vacation time, flexible work hours, paid holidays. Good benefits, generous vacation time, flexible work hours, paid holidays.

Cons

Micromanager, micromanager, micromanager! The culture is very 'Me first', in a 'no matter what you are working on, or what your delivery dates are, drop everything and work on my stuff first.' At Elsevier whoever screams the loudest gets their work done first. Everyone else suffers. This is not a healthy environment.

Pros

Worked with really great people giving it their all. Interesting work.

Cons

Management does not listen. Wants every business to be like simple manufacturing. Some things and people and subject don't fit that mold.
