Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you feel this way. Note that we have often heard that some of the best parts of working at Elsevier is our people, our work environment and how we are a trusted employer. It's people like you, a former employee and our current employees that help make it that way. So, thank you. As well, of all the reviews we have received and read across Glassdoor, not once have we been described or criticized as a corrupt organization. We are fully committed to creating a great work environment for our people and in all the countries and territories in which we operate, we comply with local employment laws. Many of our former employees have returned to our organization to work with us again for this reason. We don't know what happened in your case, but this is not a common occurrence and we are certain that any misunderstanding regarding your tax issues could have easily been resolved by our Payroll if you had contacted them. In addition, HMRC will always refund any overpaid taxes if this is truly the case. We suggest you contact them too. If you are still experiencing this tax problem issue, you can contact us at elseviergdrev@elsevier.com

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

-Great company -Team has talented, experienced account managers and product experts who know the territory well

Cons

West team management is heavy on micromanagement and sets unrealistic territory targets without rep input — high turnover, and long tenure in company seems to shield this manager from accountability and growth
