      Pros

      - Good work/life balance (remote-first) - Good compensation for Germany, as salaries are indexed with The Netherlands (= 10-15% above German average) - Strong data science community, with interesting projects - Good equipment for data science (AWS, k8, MacBooks, GPU and conference budget, etc.) - Very inclusive, international teams - Possibility to attend conferences and/or publish - Many highly qualified engineers overall (often with advanced degrees)

      Kontras

      [Disclaimer - this is very DS-oriented] - Management often non-technical, which means a lot of time is spent in meetings explaining data science concepts to and/or trying to raise funding for projects - Presentation is sometimes valued more than content or results - Heavy internal politics, with some managers focused more on outcompeting their many rivals than helping teams - Bureaucratic operations (tons of legal approvals for data science projects), that slow work considerably - Germany is not a big market for Elsevier, which puts a break on promotions unless you relocate to London or Amsterdam hubs (but maybe this is a plus for some people :-))

      Thank you for this balanced and thoughtful review. We're glad to hear that our benefits and investment in people are making a positive impact, those are commitments we take seriously. On the process feedback: Leadership is actively reviewing operational workflows, and the advice to listen more closely to employee feedback is something we're holding ourselves accountable to. If you're open to it, we'd encourage you to bring specific examples forward through your team or people and culture contacts. Change is most effective when it's grounded in the real experiences of the people doing the work, and that means you. Feel free to reach out to us at elseviergdrev@elsevier.com to provide more information Thank you for staying engaged and for caring enough to share this. It matters.

      Pros

      Decent benefits, reasonable job security and mobility

      Kontras

      Management is a mess. They are constantly shuffling around leadership and department/reporting structures, and it has serious ramifications on morale and cross-function collaboration. I was a part of a well oiled machine for many years until Elsevier acquired our product and pretty much ruined everything that was great about within 5 years. Their priorities have not aligned with customer needs, and it became increasingly difficult to provide value to our customers. Elsevier provides more roadblocks than solutions from a product management perspective.
