Business outlook
Pros
Elsevier is a professional, multinational publishing organization, full of smart people, and helping customers achieve amazing things. The organization is professional, with good opportunities to learn and evolve. The company is also becoming more open minded in trying new business models, and tools to support more users in scalable ways.
Cons
While there are opportunities to grow (e.g. with greater management responsibility and in title) it is extremely hard to grow compensation. Salary increases are modest, and they are often counter-balanced by cuts, e.g. in bonuses. After several years this forces many people out.
