Thomson Reuters Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Thomson Reuters full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Positions in the sales organization offer flexibility in work hours; movement within the company is encouraged and since there are many business units there can be many opportunities. If you move from one unit to another the base salary usually stays the same, even if you are responsible for less.

Cons – The company reorganizes almost every year which can present opportunities as well as create instability.

Advice to Senior Management – Creativity should be encouraged in practice, not just in theory.

Pros – Aim is high, and the resources are among the best in the industry. The only thing holding us back is ourselves, and we're working on it.

Cons – Story bureaucracy. I'm not sure it is different anywhere else, but sometimes it seems to take forever to get a story out.

Advice to Senior Management – Work on ways to keep standards high but simplify editing process. Keep up the efforts to get poorer performers to up their games or move on. Keep aiming high.

Advice to Senior Management – Customer first & cultivate existing relationships in this competitive environment. Peel back layers & use more oversight into hiring decisions.

Pros – Good benefits, somewhat flexible work schedule (depends on manager). Company has been profitable and has payed profit sharing for the time I've worked for the company.

Cons – Benefits have decreased over the years, company becoming more focused on cost and managing by the numbers. Raises have been very small over the past five years with major bumps only coming when conditions change (i.e. removal of overtime pay).
