Elsevier Design Department Employee Reviews

My overall experience has been very positive. I enjoy the supportive culture, collaborative team, growth opportunities, and strong focus on employee well-being. The company provides a great environment to learn, contribute, and maintain a healthy work-life balance.

Review from Design Dept · Posted 21 days ago

It's been challenging and exciting and very rewarding for my context. I feel lucky

Review from Design Dept · Posted 22 days ago

My experience is overall positive. I like the work and the people I work with. I value the relative flexibility and the work-life balance. I am not happy with the lack of career progression (and lack of information), as well as the recent layoffs (Jul25 and Dec25 for different disciplines).

Review from Design Dept · Posted 22 days ago

I'm very happy with my team and my small input in the company but I would appreciate a better pay and better benefits

Our CEO, Kumsal, comes across as very empathetic and kind and doesn't shy from tough questions at TownHalls and AMAs.

Their lidership make sense and takes us to results

Review from Design Dept · Posted 22 days ago

Goals are clear and the encouragement is there

Review from Design Dept · Posted 22 days ago

Areas of improvement: Vision/Direction. Trusting employees with decision-making and showing that they value us.

Review from Design Dept

The best part is the overall balance of competitive pay, benefits, and employee-focused support. It gives me a sense of financial stability while making me feel valued and appreciated for my contribution.

The food vouchers and health insurance

Review from Design Dept · Posted 20 days ago

I think I have good health insurance

Review from Design Dept · Posted 22 days ago

PKB which you can convert in buying more vacation days

Review from Design Dept · Posted 22 days ago

The insurance and compensation is what benefits me the most.

Review from Design Dept

I know I am paid less for the same job as some of my peers in the same grade as me, and that is never a happy place to be. Promotions in-post are extremely hard to get, "progression" isn't a clear or understandable path. End-of-year reviews feel like dark magic and not necessarily reward good work.

Review from Design Dept · Posted 21 days ago

Currently I am paid the equivalent of a non-graduate worker while higher education is required for my position. The yearly salary increase does not align with inflation. We are growing and meeting expectations, but there are no bonuses and the talks about improving salary are not satisfactory.

Review from Design Dept · Posted 22 days ago

What would make me feel better about my compensation is alignment between my contributions, market benchmarks for similar roles, and internal equity. A compensation adjustment that reflects my performance, expanded responsibilities, and the value I bring to the team would go a long way.

Review from Design Dept

I would like to be able to buy two weeks of holiday instead of only 1 as my previous employer allowed this. I also think I am not paid as much as I would be at other companies.

Review from Design Dept

I don't think my compensation is quite in lone with the market. Also I would like the opportunity to buy 10 days holiday rather than only 5 as my previous employer had this. I also think probation is too long and benefits are too restricted during this time.

Review from Design Dept

The best thing about my team is the strong collaboration, mutual support, and positive attitude. Everyone is approachable, helpful, and willing to share knowledge, which creates a friendly and productive work environment.

Review from Design Dept · Posted 12 days ago

They are good people and easy to work with.

Review from Design Dept · Posted 21 days ago

They are collaborative and good at what they do

Review from Design Dept · Posted 22 days ago

My immediate team is kind, supportive and respectful. People are motivated to build together and learn from each other instead of competing. (I'm not sure that applied to all team in Elsevier in general, though)

Review from Design Dept · Posted 22 days ago

They are kind, empathetic, willing to help. My team is great.

People are respectful, and in my experience, mostly kind and good.

Collaboration and care for each other. I love the idea of doing what is right. I love the culture in general

Review from Design Dept · Posted 22 days ago

There are always events to make groups come closer.

Review from Design Dept · Posted 22 days ago

I like the work I do, and the opportunities for growth

Review from Design Dept

Open up development/ career opportunity for those who are loyal, eager and willing to develop internally, the creation of new role if necessary and proven. In contrast I see employees get promoted way too soon because the turn over is high.

Review from Design Dept

Currently, Center of the business is north America. I feel more investment in APAC is needed

Review from Design Dept

Hiring from within, movement of talent across departments, and fairer pay to reflect talent retention

Review from Design Dept

The supportive team, positive work environment, and opportunities to learn and grow make me happiest at work. I also value the flexibility and trust that help me maintain a healthy work-life balance.

My colleagues and my manager.

Review from Design Dept · Posted 22 days ago

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
