Review from Operations Dept · Posted 9 days ago
Faster decision-making. fewer approval bottlenecks Better alignment between mission and incentives Elsevier positions itself as supporting science and research advancement, but critics sometimes feel pricing models, licensing structures, or metrics-driven goals can conflict with that mission.
Review from Operations Dept · Posted 9 days ago
Ensure pay parity within the team. Be more transparent about market risks due to AI. Strategise on how the company can be relevant beyond hype cycles around AI.

PayScale should be normalised across RELX for the designation which is presently not fair
Review from Engineering Dept · Posted a day ago
Food compensation at office is very minimal
Review from Finance Dept · Posted 3 days ago
The skills I bring to the team, my compensation does not compliment that. This is the case with various people in the team. Everyone is given almost similar money despite putting in more efforts.

Equal comp with the current market price and benefits.

Review from IT Dept · Posted 9 days ago
Linguistic and caste-based groupism and favouritism are experienced, but they are pushed under the rug. At the Chennai office, the Tamil and Telugu brahmin clique and coterie is too much to handle. All despise them. But nothing is openly told,

Keep a channel open for us to chat

They have to communicate with others by sharing their experiences and motivate each other to improve the quality of work within less time.

As our work is highly independent, greater cross-functional visibility and knowledge sharing would enhance efficiency across team. Establishing regular touchpoints, documenting key processes, and fostering an environment where questions and ideas are encouraged would help us collaborate more.

Job uncertainty, lack of growth opportunities for selected individuals

Leaders should consistently embody the values they promote: transparency, empathy, accountability, and inclusivity. A culture of appreciation boosts morale and engagement. Reduce ambiguity. Ensure goals, expectations, and decisions are communicated clearly and consistently across all levels
Review from Executive Dept
What did you like most about the interview process?
HR behaves oddly. Some people continuously apply for 5-6 years to get selected. Is this done on purpose to maintain the premiumness - not sure. Rejection reasons are not communicated. All HR work is outsourced, the third party needs more training and fixing

The interviewers were very friendly and open and I did nit need to wait for their decision long

To be honest, it was many years ago, so I'm not sure how relevant it would be now.

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 10 hours ago
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Less autonomy in the BAU work done
Review from Operations Dept · Posted 8 days ago
Nothing, i think people are over worked, and underpaid for the amount of tasks they are being given to do. Increased workload, and smaller budgets are an issue, and there are better roles elsewhere.
Review from Operations Dept · Posted 9 days ago
Lack of trust and lack of security
Review from Product Dept
Again, communication with my manager, better compensation and streamlined work processes
Review from Customer Support Dept
I don’t always enjoy coming into work because the workload can feel overwhelming at times, and there are many processes and administrative tasks, such as detailed timesheets, that take time away from meaningful, focused work. This can make it harder to stay m
