Pros

There is a great balance between work and life - managers understand that life happens. Also, there is great chemistry with coworkers - always willing to answer questions and assist when needed, awesome support from management to assist in career advancement. they are willing to discuss with you what your career options and goals are, and even recommend career development strategies to achieve these goals.

Cons

The pay could be better. For starters, it is overwhelming at the number of applications and systems to master within a short time span. New employees have quitted because of information overload. In my opinion, enough time should be alocated for training.

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

Pros

Good work-life balance, decent benefits and nice people. Great choice If you value your non-working hours.

Cons

Severely disorganized because nearly everyone is new. Both employees and management make up the rules as they go. There's very little accountability. There are some old-timers but most people leave for greener pastures after a year or two. Thomson was a lot more laid-back before the merge with Reuters. There's a distinct air of paranoia because some jobs have already been outsourced to India.
