Pros
No other company in the information industry can match Thomson Reuters breadth and depth of information assets. The brand is among the world's top 50. The company is generally supportive of work-life balance and encourages employees to maintain and healthy balance. Thomson's 'pay-for-performance' culture seems to be carried on to the new organization which is a plus. Integration of the two firms has been very smooth for the most part with few bumps. Overall, there is huge potential for growth and dominance in the next decade as information and the quality of that information grows in importance and demand
Cons
Being the result of one large company, Thomson, acquiring another large company, Reuters, there are still some cultural integration issues. There are pockets of the new company which are heavily ex-Reuters and seem to maintain an arrogance and bias against ex-Thomson employees. As well, this carries to some managerial positions where less qualified ex-Reuters individuals were favoured over ex-Thomson employees. Pay is a sore spot with many employees and some inconsistencies between peers-to-peer salary comparisons and 'leveling-up' to equate pay across similar functions
