Pluspunten

Flexibility Interesting work Talented colleagues Market leader in industry, good for career

Minpunten

Leadership at top is nearly nonexistent Workloads are back-breaking Too much focus on short-term cost reductions at expense of real growth Top leadership suffers from arrogance and elitism causing them to make dangerous uninformed business decisions No loyalty toward valuable talent below the most senior ranks Constant reorganizations with little rationale Cost cutting that affects employees - severe case of "us vs. them"

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. Feel free to reach out to us at elseviergdrev@elsevier.com to provide more information Thank you for staying engaged and for caring enough to share this. It matters.
