Thomson Reuters Reviews

Pros

Supportive managers who drive change when needed LGBT+ inclusive Flexible working hours when required Remote working permitted (even pre-COVID-19) Excellent response to COVID-19 - remote working rolled out until October, extra PTO for employees with childcare responsibilities, zero pressure to come back into the office until we are comfortable Great benefits - comprehensive LTS leave policy, death in service benefit, competitive holiday allowance that increases with years of service, optional health/dental/travel insurance Perks At Work scheme and APPRECIATE scheme

Cons

Headcount issues means lower level positions are contracted, which leads to high turnover - can get stuck in a cycle of training new people over and over

Pros

People - my new team have been amazing, even though I haven't joined in the standard way and not been able to meet them all in the office, they've made me feel so welcome and are always available via IM or video on Teams. Training - despite not being in the office, there is a wealth of training material available on various platforms which have been invaluable to me in starting my new role. My team also make time to do live video tutorials and shadowing to help me in my learning. I'd also say that I'm really impressed with how TR have dealt with the onboarding during this time, I received all my equipment in good time for my start date, emails from HR explaining the process to get set up and my manager kept in contact with me directly in the lead up to and including my first day until I was up and running and online.

Cons

So far, only the (unavoidable) impact of covid-19 has been a disappointment to me in joining TR, as I haven't had the opportunity to meet, socialise and learn with my new colleagues in the usual way.

Pros

It is possible to work very flexibly. Employees are supported with a full suite of apps and tools to help them be productive from a distance. As a senior editor in Practical Law I work with top flight colleagues who are very knowledgeable and supportive. The company encourages collaboration and is very open minded about new ideas for working. It is not hierarchical or "top down".

Cons

As a lawyer I am not working in practice so I have to make more of an effort to talk to practitioners at the coal face to keep up to date with what it's like working directly on client matters.

Pros

Good working environment and nice people

Cons

Almost too large a company which can cause bureaucracy.

Pros

good chance to experience various situations

Cons

not proper previous work process

Pros

Nice benefit package. Relax working environment

Cons

Huge company, business/product decisions were made without the team involved

Pros

Staff friendly, plenty of opportunities

Cons

Work can be intense and busy

Pros

Flexible working practices, non-pressurised environment

Cons

technology in London is being run down except for pre-sales, demos and some R&D. If you join, you're pigeon-holed and will remain in place until your job is off-shored at which time you'll be laid off. While apparently there is some scope for re-deployment, constant recruitment freezes makes this impossible to achieve.
