      I have been working at Thomson Reuters full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      - Culture (Welcoming, Flexible, Value-Driven)
       - Collaborative Atmosphere - people value your feedback/input at all levels of the organization
       - Employee Appreciation - TR truly values their employees (Employee Picnics, Continuous Education/Training, Career Development, Maternity Leave Policy (AMAZING!!!), and the overall Culture makes you feel appreciated and happy to be apart of this wonderful company.
       - Campus - this building and the campus is beautiful!! I have yet to walk around and explore.
       - Commute - my commute is so much better now. Makes a huge difference in my stress level not having to sit in traffic for hours!
       - Work/Family Balance - This company truly "Gets It" when it comes to balance with family and work. This is so important for your well being and state of mind.

      Cons

      - Communication - sometime with a company this big, it's hard to keep up with what's going on. The notifications are nice, but the come in all sort of directions and it can be a little overwhelming.
       - Company Structure - I know this is in the works - but it's challenging to know who does what and where! I've only been here a year, so I'm still learning the ropes around here :-)

      Advice to Management

      Keep up the great work!!! This is an amazing company and I'm proud to be a part of it! :-)

      I worked at Thomson Reuters full-time

      Pros

      Employee development, exciting products, customer focus, collaboration

      Cons

      My business segment was sold to private equity

      Advice to Management

      Thomson Reuters was a highlight of my career. I worked in the Philly office prior to the sale of IP&S. I never worked so hard but learned so much. I am grateful for the opportunities that were afforded to me and would not hesitate to come back to TR in the future if there was a role that made geographical sense. Keep doing what you are doing - your investment in your employees, keeping them engaged and valued will continue to help the company.

      I worked at Thomson Reuters full-time (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      Telecommuting often permitted a percentage of the time. Nice campus with walking trails, convenience store and cafeteria with a nice variety of options. Great people overall. Easy to build a Network.

      Cons

      Organizational changes along with layoffs are common multiple times per year. Workload unbalanced. Some workers have too much, while others have too little. Increase in requirement to do more with less. Ongoing outsourcing and relocation of jobs abroad.

      Advice to Management

      Ensure Senior Management is skilled in people leadership. Listen and react to employees.

      Pros

      *Good benefits
      *Great people to work with
      *Ability to work remotely
      *Work-life balance is ok

      Cons

      *Well below market pay
      *Constant reorgs and layoffs
      *Upper management is out of touch with reality about how much work is required at the lower level, and is unwilling to provide the necessary resources/personnel needed

      Advice to Management

      Laying employees off is only a temporary fix for shareholders and is not a long-term solution. You have to realize the getting rid of programmers and developers hurts the product. This in turn angers clients who go looking elsewhere for products that will fit their needs. While you say that we will be shifting from a product based approach to a customer based approach, you have to realize that a vast majority of our clients are product based clients. Not to mention that these clients would actually like it if our product worked with consistency. It will not function well if you keep getting rid of the necessary resources needed.

      Pros

      As a market specialist you were deemed as the expert for your given market. The position really created a framework to showcase your expertise.

      Cons

      as a market specialist responsible for sales it was difficult for the larger sales organization to understand were the position fit, and often caused the account management teams, and sales teams to understand who should be included on a sale.
