Pros

Elsevier offers a decent salary and 401k match. Depending on the department, there is possible opportunity to travel, flexible work hours and work-from-home.

Cons

In general, management does not support employees through mentorship, educational opportunities, or by promoting career interests. Management DOES support competitive behavior, finger-pointing, and shouting. (Yes, shouting.) Also, if you giggle and drink with the CMO, you may get noticed. Try not to introduce modern digital marketing concepts or exercise original ideas. Snarkiness aside, the marketing team in my division lost 6 or 7 people in 2016, and my immediate team lost 3 people in the last 6 months. 'nuff said. Average vacation (2 weeks, 3 if you negotiate), and terrible medical benefits.

Pros

The people are extremely nice and collaborative. You are allowed a lot of independence and given adequate timelines. Management is very encouraging, flexible and accommodating. They are also open to new ideas and will supply you with anything you need to accomplish your tasks. The benefits are top notch. They provide vacation, sick days, personal days, and community service days with excellent health coverage.

Cons

The only downside was the salary is on the low side.
