Pluspunten

Elsevier has a lot of smart people, working very hard, doing something they believe in and care about. The resources available to the company, the thought leadership, and the industry leadership are a powerful mix.The transformation to a data and analytics company, in growth markets, is well underway.

Minpunten

Elsevier has a very academic approach to decision-making that can drown innovation at times. Industry leadership also means the company. There are also a couple of functions that need dragging into the digital age.

First, let us thank you for you work at Elsevier for the past 5 years. Secondly, thank you for leaving this great feedback. We are pleased to hear that we have a lot of smart people including you working at Elsevier. Knowing that you, one of our employees, acknowledged that the resources available to us, the thought leadership, and the industry leadership are a powerful mix for us is fantastic. Regarding our approach to decision making, I am sure that you appreciate the need for us to make several critical decisions in a global business environment. So, careful consideration is often required in some cases. However, we are certain that you must have noticed a change in our approach to decision making since you left this feedback. Carefully moving faster on decisions means staying competitive.

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.

Pluspunten

Every direct manager I've had has been excellent: supportive, positive, and trusting me to deliver good work instead of micromanaging. Employees tend to stay, which suggests stability even if not everyone gets promotions or significant raises.

Minpunten

The pressure to outsource as much as possible, which is common at every publisher, leads to frustration. Because promotions or significant raises seem to be rare, you may be stuck in neutral unless you're very openly ambitious.
