Elsevier promotes "work life balance" on social media, but this is highly dependent on the team. Some teams (non-IT) are unfortunately always overworked.

Thank you for your review. We are authentic with our narratives on social media and other channels. Over 90% of our people surveyed agreed unequivocally that they enjoy "work-life balance". We encourage you or anyone concerned to feel empowered to speak up to HR and managers or seek assistance from MindLife Group if they feel overworked. We are unified in our efforts to continue building an environment that fosters flexible working, wellness and wellbeing.

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.
-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
