      Disapproves of CEO

      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.

      Disapproves of CEO

      I worked at Thomson Reuters full-time

      Pros

      Many people work from home or have flex schedules

      Cons

      Lack of strategy. Lots of red tape to get things done.

      Advice to Management

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

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

      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"

      I have been working at Thomson Reuters full-time (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      Thomson Reuters invests heavily in the professional development of employees and ensures an environment of inclusiveness and diversity. Innovation isn't just a buzzword, it is a way of life at Thomson Reuters. Great people and management is top notch!

      Cons

      Fast moving and little room for people who want to just work until retirement with no growth. Competition for promotions is very high because of so many qualified candidates.

      Advice to Management

      Keep doing what you are doing. There is no doubt that the culture of Thomson Reuters supports its mission and values. I come to work every day knowing what Thomson Reuters stands for and how it is going to deliver on its promises in an ethical and competitive way.

      Pros

      Great people.
      Good salary for the position.
      Ability to develop as an employee and connect with people from the company.

      Cons

      There really aren't any cons per se aside from the fact that as a lower level employee I really didn't get too much time to work with upper level employees aside from my direct boss.
