As mentioned, some things are very good, but there are areas where they are lacking. They suggest they want to be leaders within the field but when it comes to salary they are happy to run with the pack, stating that we are paid the "industry norm" when the subject of salary comes up.

Getting positive feedback from managers and customers

Very supportive of me, in a fairly new role when i have questions they are happy to help

Stop cutting costs when the company makes vast profits year on year, there is no investment in the area where i work

There is a good sense of belonging and everybody looks out for each other and helps with advice and practical help whenever possible

There are few allowances for the rising cost of living, although the salary increase this year was slightly more than usual, it still amounts to a pay cut in real terms

They need to be more transparent, follow up their words with actions. There is much focus on "doing what is right" in leadership announcements but very little comes of it and it comes across as virtue signalling

Other divisions within Elsevier receive a much higher annual bonus incentive scheme. As part of the acquisitions fighting against several obstacles to get books commissioned, i don;t think salary is what it should be especially compared to such divisions as technology

the leadership team need to come out of their ivory towers a bit more often, there is a sense that they do not understand the day-to-day problems that are faced and wish to shut out facts that do not suit them

There are some things where the company is very supportive, such as hybrid working but there are other occasions, such as the cost of living crisis, where they could be more supportive. It seems to come down to what would cost the most, in terms of what support they give
