Working at Elsevier has been the best experience of my 5 years career thus far. I am trusted and supported to deliver on time and with quality to our customers. Also have been given the opportunity to start an employee resource group for which I get lots of recognition and open doors for.
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
I think Elsevier has a lot of potential but still acts too traditional to get to the next level. I understand that change is on the way and that change takes time but right now it feels slows, it lacks true innovation. We need to be more proactive and lead the charge better to be true leaders

More innovation; younger employees, fresh thoughts; real experts

Science and research driven; somewhat diverse and international.

open, friendly, self-starter culture, trusting

What do you like best about the leadership team?
There's 2 women of colour and 3 women in total. The CEO is warm and humane.
What makes you most happy at work?
Extreme flexibility and trust I receive. i feel like I am the owner of my work and time.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
They are some women on the team and they seem to be active into certain important topics like I&D.
What are some of the best things about your team?
From different countries but could be more diverse ethnicity wise; collaboration is high; people are willing to help and generally warm/welcoming.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Quite high salary - above market average. Also have a decent bonus package. 13th 14th months and participation in company's stock which companies matches by 20%
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
I want to change roles and go to I&D but opportunities are currently very limited and my current job has lost its fire with WFH/Covid as I no longer see my clients.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Recent I&D developments make it that we talk more about it at work, that's a plus. Otherwise, I'd say flexibility in work, WFH, and career opportunities (although you really have to fetch for yourself!)
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
I'm not sure. I think the way the business is set up penalises and damages employee relationships. Working in RSS for example, the lack of investment into a better helpdesk damanges relationships between AM and CC with unclear roles and tasks.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
I like the leadership team is being led by a woman, who knows what she is doing, is business orientated while being positive and empathetic altogether. I like that the team has other women but would like to see more people of color as there is only 1 thus far.
