    Neutral Outlook
    No Opinion of CEO

    I worked at Thomson Reuters full-time for more than 5 years

    Pros

    Good benefits package, generous maternity leave, private health care, training opportunities, usually flexible management, reasonably nice people around. Training opportunities are good and development is generally encouraged.

    Cons

    Some products are not very good, salary does not reflect performance and there are a lot of people who just get by. This company is big but rarely fires people, so performance drops with time. Those who stay are not necessarily the best. Because this organisation grew organically and for a long time, the technology is pretty old and it would take a lot of investment to bring it up to speed to be able to be really... competitive in the financial news products sector. They have tried to hire top bosses from google and other such companies thinking that this would do the trick, but did not want to invest in the infrastructure. Now they are not able to compete with Bloomberg any more because of that. Comp is not great in this company and especially any pay rises, gender gap visible.
