Thank you for leaving your review. Over 85% of our 9,800 employees worldwide agreed via an internal survey that our organization is a great place to work. So, we are deeply concerned to hear this feedback, as it is not aligned with the environment we strive to create. Leadership accountability, genuine management practices, and supporting team growth are core values for us, and it's clear there is work to be done in the mentioned location if this aligns with your ex-team members' feedback to ensure these values are upheld across the organization. We are actively investing in initiatives to build healthier, more collaborative workplaces and addressing employee wellness, including regular feedback channels and leadership development programs. We understand that a fulfilling, supportive work experience is essential, and feedback like yours helps us focus our efforts where they are most needed. If you’re open to it, we would value the opportunity to discuss this further and understand how we can improve. Contact us: elseviergdrev@elsevier.com Thank you.

Thank you for this balanced and thoughtful review. We're glad to hear that our benefits and investment in people are making a positive impact, those are commitments we take seriously. On the process feedback: Leadership is actively reviewing operational workflows, and the advice to listen more closely to employee feedback is something we're holding ourselves accountable to. If you're open to it, we'd encourage you to bring specific examples forward through your team or people and culture contacts. Change is most effective when it's grounded in the real experiences of the people doing the work, and that means you. Feel free to reach out to us at elseviergdrev@elsevier.com to provide more information Thank you for staying engaged and for caring enough to share this. It matters.

Pros

Decent benefits, reasonable job security and mobility

Cons

Management is a mess. They are constantly shuffling around leadership and department/reporting structures, and it has serious ramifications on morale and cross-function collaboration. I was a part of a well oiled machine for many years until Elsevier acquired our product and pretty much ruined everything that was great about within 5 years. Their priorities have not aligned with customer needs, and it became increasingly difficult to provide value to our customers. Elsevier provides more roadblocks than solutions from a product management perspective.
