Review from Product Dept · Posted 13 days ago

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Compensation Reviews

Pay at market rate for my skills

Review from Product Dept · Posted 9 days ago

Lately, a significant amount of work from another vertical has been delegated to our team. Given the additional responsibilities, I feel that my current compensation does not adequately reflect the scope of my workload.

Review from Product Dept · Posted 13 days ago

Journal Manager's roles and responsibilities are exceedingly tedious. We are underpaid and overworked with no scope for quick and easy vertical movement - we are openly asked to move laterally & they are trying to sell it as a USP of culture; however, it is glaring lack of planning.

Review from Product Dept · Posted 13 days ago

Clearer pay bands, a Senior Product Manager 1 and Principal Product Manager 1 can get paid the same even though they are two grades a part. Whether you come in new to the company at a specific grade or get promoted up, there should be a difference in pay if the grades are different.

Review from Product Dept · Posted 22 days ago

I would feel better if the workload was lower. The company does not hire more people in my position. Rather than that, they hire entry-level people to support us, but at the end of the day, this does not really take work out of our plates.

Review from Product Dept · Posted 16 days ago

turn cameras on so there is human interaction

Review from Product Dept · Posted 21 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,

Review from Product Dept · Posted 13 days ago

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Environment Reviews

The current situation is very acceptable

Review from Product Dept

Better communications and inclusivity. The change in communication frequency has been difficult. More "walk the talk", rather than "talk the talk"

Review from Product Dept

More communication and less escalation.

Review from Product Dept

Retain key talent and not recognize poor perfomance

Review from Product Dept

There has been a recent shift in culture, and seems that it aligns with the economic climate. The hiring pause, and changes in the org has resulted in a shift in culture unfortunately.

Review from Product Dept

What did you like most about the interview process?

Interviews Reviews

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

Review from Product Dept

10 years ago, simplicity, sincerity of exchanges

Review from Product Dept

Multiple rounds of conversations with very different people, which gives you a good flavor of the expectations of the role from different stakeholders and a feel for future colleagues

Review from Product Dept · Posted 16 days ago

Nothing from Elseviers position out grown what I do

Review from Product Dept · Posted 21 days ago

Lack of trust and lack of security

Review from Product Dept

We say we are customer focus, but it's just words: we are only revenue focus

Review from Product Dept

The part of the company I am in (Health) is extremely CAPEX- and finance-driven. Budget cycles, not market trends or customer needs, dictate planning cadence and effectively result in waterfall-like development. Prioritization is based on anecdotes from sellers and executive opinion, not hard data.
