Review from Product Dept
Communications. Direct, transparent, clear, sensitive communications.
Review from Product Dept
I think if the company allows us to work remotely without having to show up at work 4 times a month, it will be easier for us. In India, we work difficult hours all week and suddenly 1 day a week we are asked to show up at work early in the morning, for the same work that can be done at home.
Review from Product Dept
I think employees should be given more flexibility in working keeping in mind the pressure that is put on them. I think remote work should be the way to go ahead for people who want to work from home and do not want to relocate just to be at work one day every week. I hope this is taken into account
Review from Product Dept

Review from Product Dept · Posted 15 days ago
The best part is the overall balance, competitive pay along with benefits that support both well-being and financial security.
Review from Product Dept · Posted 15 days ago
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
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.
Review from Product Dept · Posted 9 days ago
Better career progression in the same role based on performance
Review from Product Dept · Posted 10 days ago
More transparent about the better evaluation result and the promotion standards.
Review from Product Dept · Posted 15 days ago
Employees in India feel underpaid. RELX/Elsevier report consistent profits, but full benefits aren’t reflected in our pay. This has been clearly raised in anonymous surveys, yet management offers no meaningful increases, instead launching
Review from Product Dept · Posted 15 days ago
Salary corrections do not compensate for inflation.

Review from Product Dept · Posted 14 days ago
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
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
They could be more engaged.
Review from Product Dept
If you do not like another colleague, it is not a good idea to talk about it openly in a business setting. As a superior and a subordinate, you can't even point it out.

More interaction beyond small teams, more company spirit

What needs to change to make the company culture better?
The current situation is very acceptable
Review from Product Dept · Posted 15 days ago
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?
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 14 days ago
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
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.
Review from Product Dept
Lots of layoffs and reorgs recently. Drags down morale, makes people feel less safe and less comfortable with getting invested in new teams, projects.
Review from Product Dept
Relationships are not so good. There are few people I can talk openly with, so I think the best solution is to have a trusted colleague.
