Pros

Good work/life balance in certain parts of the organization. Elsevier has a culture of "doing the right thing", reinforced by current CEO.

Cons

Extremely political environment. Misaligned goals between teams and departments drives a lot of inefficiency. Strong direction from C-Suite gets lost and mutated in the middle-management layer.

Thank you for your review. Compensation is always a hot topic in any industry. Every year, Elsevier benchmarks its salaries externally to stay competitive.
