Pros

Excellent work culture and employee benefits. Flexible work from home opportunities for technology folks. Leave policies are good. Yearly hike percentage is also decent and fully paid variable pay too. Food subsidy and free cab services are available for all employees.

Cons

Learning curve depreciates when you stay for long. No much change in job roles. As a company is it very good place to work for only negative will be team leads or managers from other service companies trying to ruin the Elsevier work culture. Promotion is difficult unless there is an opening for the next level. Mostly do not have hopes on promotions.
