Pros

- Company is so big that local satellite offices are left relatively alone. If you like the employees you see every day, you can almost forget that you work for a global corporation.

Cons

- Company Super PAC periodically spams employees asking for money. - Elsevier is extremely slow to replace employees who have left. If someone leaves in the middle of the year, you've basically got to wait until the next fiscal year to get approval to hire a new one. - Hiring process is slow; it's very difficult to acquire talent--by the time all the paperwork is done and all the signatures have been collected, your candidate has found another job. - No clear career path.

Pros

The people, travel opportunities, fair wage increase over the years and great benefits. A diverse employee roster made the workplace interesting. I felt like employees were given the opportunity to move up fairly quickly.

Cons

Publishing doesn't pay well and at times I felt like I was putting in too many hours for my low starting salary. Certain subgroups within the company seemed better compensated than others.
