Pros
I enjoyed the work I did, it was just overwhelming in volume and made me ill.
Cons
Long hours and neverending workload. This company has shocking attitudes towards mental health. If you can't handle 12+ hour days, you are considered not good enough and discouraged from opportunities for advancement. But you will be sent endless emails about mindfulness seminars. Budget cuts at Elsevier are undermining the quality of the product. Elsevier only cares about making money. Jobs are poorly paid compared with other publishing companies. Hotdesking (which means they won't pay for enough desks, so you might end up working in an unsuitable environment). Apparently health and safety doesn't apply to Elsevier.
