Pros
Amazing work-life balance, vacation time, and maternity leave. Amazing employees who will do anything to help you.
Cons
Don’t expect any career growth - managers will entice you with senior/lead promotions but never actually give them out - there isn’t even any guidelines within the org about what determines whether or not you’re on the right path to become a senior or lead. Thomson’s work policy for working remote is a joke - some departments can work completely remote, some departments can’t work remote at all, and there’s no internal guidelines about how this policy works. Some employees even get preferential treatment and can work completely remote, while others might not be able to even work remote 1-2 days a week. You also shouldn’t expect any significant raises - in the 8+ years I was with TR, I was severely underpaid (thanks Glassdoor!), and my manager always claimed his hands were tied by HR/management. I think my average raises were 1%-3%, even with good performance reviews and continued education.
