Pros

LexisNexis has name recognition and a reputation to be useful as a resume builder. The workforce was a bright spot in an otherwise bleak scenario. Lots of qualified, intelligent people who are good to work alongside. Reasonable paid time off and 401k match. No expectation to take work home.

Cons

No room for advancement. The culture and working environment in the sales organization bordered on parody. Woefully out of touch leadership at the VP and Exec level defined by a "boomers know best" mentality. An intelligent and motivated young workforce occupying TCM and TAE roles were managed in a prescriptive, metrics-driven fashion at the cost of logic and meaningful productivity, which had a detrimental impact on morale. Inequitable sales territories. Unlivable base wage. Consistently ethically dubious variable compensation pay schedules at the quarter.

Thank you for taking the time to write your review. Thanks also for acknowledging our great people here, our solid time-off policy and strong 401k benefits. I’ll try to provide some insight to the career progression and compensation in our Sales organization. Attracting and retaining great sales talent is very important to our company. We recently performed a market analysis and increased base salaries for all sales roles to align to market standards. We have a Sales Accelerator program for Telephonic Account Executives (TAEs) and Telephonic Client Managers (TCMs), providing a base pay increase for meeting or exceeding POS targets annually. Our sales career progression framework is robust: Entry job is Sales Development Representative (SDR), which progresses to either an Associate TAE or Associate TCM, which progresses to either a TAE or TCM. The progression may occur every 1 to 2 years, and the Sales Accelerator program gives our reps flexibility to progress in compensation without changing roles. If a rep wants to change roles, there are opportunities for field-based sales roles or Product Specialist/Practice Specialist roles. We also have many reps transition to Sales Enablement, which trains new and existing reps. Like any strong business, we do have a metrics-driven sales organization, which is pivotal to our success. We consistently review and refine our metrics so that we are assessing the most meaningful data for the health of our business and success of our reps. Thank you again for writing your review. It appears you’re no longer with the company, and we wish you well in your new endeavors.

It’s wonderful to read that your experience at LexisNexis included strong work–life balance and good management. From a Senior Data Scientist’s perspective, that combination matters a lot, especially in work that requires focus, collaboration, and room to solve complex problems well. You also touched on compensation, which is an area we approach with structure and care. Pay decisions are guided by external market data, internal role alignment, performance, and the scope of each role. We also look at total rewards more broadly, including incentive opportunities and long-term financial wellbeing resources where they apply, so colleagues are supported beyond base salary alone. The work of our Data Science teams helps power trusted information, analytics, and AI-driven workflows used by customers in high-stakes settings. We’re glad the culture and management support made a positive impression during your time here. Thank you for your contributions to LexisNexis, and all the best in your next chapter!

Pros

PTO, colleagues that became great friends

Cons

untamable sales goals, never having your goals on time, terrible benefits, terrible raises if you got one at all, comp plans are terrible, your goals would go up, but your percentage of pay would go down. The better you did in sales, the next each your goals would increase significantly. Making it harder and harder to reach your goals year after year. Someone would leave the company, get fired or retire, that work gets piled onto you and there is no compensation for it. More work, less pay.

After more than a decade with LexisNexis in Sales, your perspective carries real weight. It is good to hear that your immediate manager and the friendships you built with colleagues stood out during your time here. Your review also raises an important part of the sales experience: how goals, rewards, account ownership, and leadership support come together over time. In our sales teams, clarity and consistency matter. We continue to work toward a more unified sales framework that gives sellers stronger processes, more useful account insights, and better operational support. Compensation is reviewed using market data and internal role alignment, with decisions shaped by role scope, performance, and business context. For sales roles, that also includes performance-based incentives as part of the broader total rewards approach. The work our sales teams do directly supports customers across law, business, and government, and strong customer relationships remain central to how we operate. Your decade of service represents a significant contribution to LexisNexis and to the customers you supported. Thank you for the role you played while you were here, and we wish you continued success in what comes next.
