Pros

Elsevier, under Kumsal's Bayazit's leadership, has redefined what it means to care for, and take care of employees. The compassion and recognition of our combined and individual efforts during the pandemic has been exemplary. From what I have heard from colleagues at other firms, Elsevier is a much nicer/kinder/more rewarding place to be!

Cons

There are occasional inefficient and slow systems. There are also bad managers and seemingly no easy way to reduce their impact on the staff for whom they are responsible. Generally speaking, however, Elsevier is a terrific employer and its care for employees has improved significantly over recent years to the point that it is now an example and a place where the grass really is greener!

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.

Pros

-Great company -Team has talented, experienced account managers and product experts who know the territory well

Cons

West team management is heavy on micromanagement and sets unrealistic territory targets without rep input — high turnover, and long tenure in company seems to shield this manager from accountability and growth
