Thomson used to be a good company before the merger with Reuters.

Pros

Not many anymore. There are still some good people trying their best to stop the executives from ruining the Legal, Tax and Science businesses.

Cons

The current executive leadership has no long term vision for the company. The whole culture now is about cost cutting to try to prop up the stock price in the short term. They are laying off good people and replacing them with 3rd party resources that don't have TR's best interests at heart. They aren't willing to spend any meaningful investments into building out the infrastructure of the business anymore. The only projects that ever get implemented are very small short term projects. Anything of substance that will position the company to be more agile in the future is deemed to expensive. Thus in 5 years the business will not be able to adapt to the ever changing environment and TR will be left in the dust by a company that is able to provide the customers what they want, when they want it at a price that TR will not be able to come close to.

Never judge a book by its cover. Its a lot worse on the inside than the brand suggest.

Pros

You have a job with a recognizable company name, and that's always good on paper. Lots of accessible free online resources for knowledge development.

Cons

The last 4 years, it appeared the organizational chart kept changing every quarter, with sequential layoffs in droves, which was extremely bad for moral. There is very little upward mobility in professional growth. It has a very stale feel on the inside. Lots of depressed employees. Lots of managers act as bullies and play obvious favorites. Tons of office politics with managers consistently taking credit for your efforts without letting you shine. The management seems intimidated by raw intelligence from direct reports, and quickly shuts down bright bulbs. If you are very good at kissing up, you may be able to survive there.
