Pros

- Work-life balance - Working on some genuinely interesting problems - The company is consciously trying to pivot to become better

Cons

- Too much product focus at the expense of tech - Dealing with legacy systems is not a priority -> leads to accumulating too much technical debt that slows down progress - Still a bit siloed - You can easily get boxed in into a dull routine of fixing broken stuff and give up any hopes of anything better

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. At Elsevier, we are all responsible for our own development and careers, with support from our managers through career development conversations, action planning and ongoing coaching. We are committed to a fair, equitable and inclusive approach to career development for all employees, and we recognize individual preferences, aspirations and development needs. We support this in a structured manner. Managers have an important role in supporting career development for their team members. As you must have noticed, we have increased our investment in in-person training opportunities to enhance skills further in this area. Job titles are well clarified at Elsevier. However, as noted that you’ve spent less than a year at Elsevier if you think your job is not reflective of the work you do daily, it’s important to discuss this with your manager. Overall, our tech employees, as well as the leadership team in Tech globally, are unified in their efforts to continue to build an environment that is supportive, nurturing and inclusive. We encourage you to partake in this by identifying other ways to further contribute to these efforts by speaking to your manager or if you prefer, contact us at elseviergdrev@elsevier.com
