    1. "Good work-life balance and benefits but pay could be better"

      I have been working at Thomson Reuters full-time (More than 8 years)

      Pros

      4 weeks paid leave, 4 float holidays, over a week of sick leave
      good corporate citizenship with volunteer opportunities
      fitness/wellness program
      casual dress code

      Cons

      pay could be more competitive
      not much room for growth and challenge

      Advice to Management

      Direct management is passive-aggressive. Don't often know what one is doing wrong until it's been done; no guidelines for setting good example and leadership. Senior management is far away. Smaller-owned firms may feel isolated.

    2. "Good place to work"

      I worked at Thomson Reuters full-time (More than 8 years)

      Pros

      I was there for 8 years. Work/life balance was good under my manager. Overall I loved it there. Particularly the first 7 years were great. We were allowed to work from home, good pay and benefits.

      Cons

      Work/life balance was terrible when I temporarily worked with another group.
      Layoffs happened 2 weeks after major project was finished. It felt like I was worked to death in then discarded. The last year they cut back on things like working from home, number of paid holidays, etc. Layoffs happen every couple of years. Not much room for career growth.

      Advice to Management

      My manager was great, and I wouldn't change a thing about that. But advice to the others I worked with would be to manage time better and not put things off to the last minute that forces people to work 60+ hour weeks. That could have been avoided with better planning.

      Many people work from home or have flex schedules

      What do you want to be when you grow up? Pick a strategy.

      Pros

      - Great work/life balance and flexibility to adjust my schedule/hours to meet my family needs
      - Great leadership team that is dedicated to advancing my segment of the organization, driving diversity and inclusion initiatives, and ensuring that TR remains a destination employer

      Cons

      - TR is a large organization and, as with any company of this size, could do a better job of sharing best practices, resources, and information across or within business units to maximize effort and results

      No opinion of CEO

      I worked at Thomson Reuters full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      The department I was in was fantastic (Boston), as well as all others we dealt with - real emphasis on and respect for individual contributions.

      Cons

      • seemed lack of focus on long-term projects
      • not great relationship between middle and upper management (i blame upper)
      • pay was decent but bonus systems seemed complex with arbitrary payouts

      Advice to Management

      as middle management did without exception to all workers, upper-management needed/s to listen to what's happening "on the ground"

    10. "Large company, loosing focus on details"

      Pros

      Overall, large company with good reputation and benefits

      Cons

      Depending on what you are working on, you will have a lot of attention, or zero attention. As it is a large corporation, upper management may not be too involved or knowledgeable about what you are doing. no room to grow in local offices unless you are willing to move to locations where headquarters are.
