      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good salary rates. Good perks with lots of employee wellbeing

      Cons

      Not a great place for designers to try and do their best work. Elsevier is a political, tribal, hierarchical and siloed set up of an org. They ship sub-par products and treat the scientific community as one gargantuan captive cash-cow that doesn't have much choice other than to pay for information packaged in very limited digital experiences.
