Elsevier is a place for ambitious self-starters to grow and learn - which is a great fit for me. The strategy isn't always linear, but neither are our market needs so it's a good thing I'm adaptable. It's a nurturing environment for moms to bloom and I love that many of our female leaders have kids

Smart and dedicated people the world over.

The personal choice budget (in NL) and the profit share.

It's open and welcoming, as well as accommodating to your personal life.

People I work with are generally smart and resourceful. The company hires very well on the whole.

I get to work creatively and come up with solutions to reach common goals. It's really not prescriptive, which I love.

The international nature of the work and the diversity of colleagues, you feel very connected to the world. That's super important to me.

The communication style of the current leadership is much more open and clear than it ever was. Kumsal has really driven a positive culture change at Elsevier.

As I've grown in my career I feel I have more of an impact, and that I am good at my job. This gives me a lot of satisfaction.

It's a great place to raise a family. Not once was I passed up for an opportunity after becoming a mom. If you do the work, if you put in the time and dedication, that's all that matters.

The work from anywhere weeks, the family care leave (NL), the flexible hours, the work from home policy (even before covid, it was already an option that was flexible in my role). All of this, plus the different pots of money make a big difference to a young family.
