Pros

Elsevier produces high quality solutions for its customers. Lots of great people amongst the rank & file. Senior Leadership is another story altogether.

Cons

See Title of this review. The result of micromanagement, cronyism, incompetence, dishonesty and lack of respect for people. I understand the SVP of Sales was replaced a few months ago. That is a start. It will take time and the right leadership to undue all that was destroyed over 3 years to create an environment of mutual trust/respect for people that was once the true hallmark of a successful RELX Group company.
