Cons – No cons to speak of

Current Employee – been working at LexisNexis Legal & Professional full-time for more than a year

Pros – Family-oriented culture which gives way to a satisfying work-life balance. Pay is at or above market. Friendly, hard working employees.

Cons – If you can handle a culture in which a re-org happens once every six months, this place is for you! There is no clear vision of the corporate srategy (hence the re-orgs), and throwing people at the problem is not the solution. Inflated titles make you feel like you work in the banking industry - where everyone is a VP. Career opportunities are great for people who "grow up" with the company; significantly lacking for those who did not.

Advice to Senior Management – Help develop the people who do YOUR work. Utilize a person's skillset to maximize their potential for success. Need a better on-boarding process.

Pros – Competitive salary
Growth opportunities
Flexible schedule
Good work/life balance

Cons – Arbitrary layoffs
Rewards poor performers
Subpar benefits

Advice to Senior Management – Don't make your leaders afraid that they will lose the head count if they fire a poor performer. There are too many people here who should be long gone but are collecting a paycheck because the group is afraid of not being able to backfill.

Former Employee – worked at LexisNexis Legal & Professional full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Worldwide recognized brand with over 35K sources of information ranging from News, Public Records, to Academic articles. As with most places, your experience on the job will depend on who your manager is. Most folks are home-based.

Cons – It's an enormous company so it can be slow in adopting and implementing new ideas and rolling out new products.

Advice to Senior Management – Develop and communicate Vision internally with a 2 year executable plan/course. Things have been changing very quickly around how people consume/use information and the overall "pie" is getting smaller, so laying out a Medium-Term Executable approach will do wonders to improve employee's outlook on their ability to demonstrate success.
