Pros

There is good work/life balance with this company. They are an industry leader and a global company. In some instances, they are willing to promote from within. There are many intelligent, hard working people in this company. The company and its employees are receptive to change in some areas. Usually, there are opportunities for cross-functional collaboration and company wide visibility.

Cons

The path to promotion and professional advancement is not well defined, confusing, and inconsistent. There is a tendency to overwork the best people by giving them additional responsibilities, titles, and requirements without giving additional compensation or benefits. There seems to be a consistent theme of doing more with less regardless of whether or no this strategy is realistic.

Pros

Elsevier has an impressive product line that delivers information to the scientists and healthcare workers at the point in their workflow where they need it most. The company has managed a successful transition from print to electronic due to the skills of its talented and dedicated people.

Cons

Bureaucratic organization with decisions made by committee. Recognizes need to change but does it very slowly.
