Pros

a) Year on Year Training b) Defined KPIs c) Work Life Balance

Cons

a) Incompetent Managing Director not so comfortable mingling with entry level executive. spends most of the time attending Global calls b) Incompetent HR, playing politics and not done the work in evaluating employees. HR all noise nothing done. c) Limited growth, no value for skills d) If you outgrow CTC to a specific level, then you are in danger of becoming redundant. If you ask the management for better opportunities, they may not be willing to give you e) Divide between global and local. Hence local achievements will be looked down f) Huge nasty nexus among senior leaders. They spend time in managing perception and guarding secret. No focus on improving operations g) Executive Vice President makes a visit every year and goes back saying everything is fine. We know everything cannot be fine at every time. Not so inspiring, if you are looking for real growth.

Pros

Senior leadership for RELX group absolutely understands how to grow the business and ensure a good return for shareholders. Opportunities for growth are numerous, but may require relocation to one of the larger offices.

Cons

While the company remains profitable, it struggles with gaining the full endorsement of staff. At the individual contributor level, it is sometimes difficult to understand how reduction in staff accomplishes more for the company than just cost savings.
