Outside of feeling heard about how Elsevier manages pay, I feel that I have opportunity to grow, develop, and learn. I wish instead of trying to educate me further on compensation leadership heard that I understand but disagree that it is a competitive approach for myself and my direct reports.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
I appreciate the ongoing focus of finding ways for Elsevier to be a good steward in the scholarly publishing industry. We want to not only participate but lead in areas where there's universal benefit (e.g., gender, race, & ethnicity collection/transparency)
What are some of the best things about your team?
I like them as people first and colleagues second. I think they are genuinely interested in supporting each other vs just advancing their own vertical or agenda. There's always more to do but I'm proud to be a part of this team.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I am consistently in the position of finding out retrospectively that I am being underpaid. I have had managers who are dogged in their advocation of me and it remains an issue. I also see it as a manager that equity remains an issue. External hires are valued more than internal promotions.
What makes you most happy at work?
It's a puzzle - not a test. I don't like feeling like there's a predestined answer from "on high" that I'm expected to intuit and get right. I feel like I have a fair level of autonomy to decide strategy and own outcomes. Not always - nothing's perfect - but mostly a lot of freedom.
