Pluspunten

At Elsevier sales teams receive two main benefits: - low pressure when it comes to numbers - great work life balance (depending on your manager)

Minpunten

- if you want to grow you’ll receive a lot of pushback as there’s no clear path created internally on how you can advance - middle managers are not trained to have the personal development conversations with the teams - the middle management consists of mostly white Dutch man (Elsevier Amsterdam office) who are comfortable with having their teams stable, not promoting or changing anything - the sales teams consist of mostly older employees who are comfortable in their roles and aren’t there to innovate but to have a stable job. Last point is not necessarily bad, but depends on where you are in your career. If you need a stable, chill, and non-ambitious environment Elsevier will fit you.

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.
