Pros

Benefits are relatively good. The group I worked in had a casual dress code. Company seems to be doing well financially.

Cons

Thomson is essentially a collection of smaller companies that they have acquired over the years. Now they are trying to merge all of these different companies and financial information products into one big product. This ignores the niche markets that some of the acquired companies were serving. The big product they are feeding everything into has a lousy user interface and poor performance. I bet this has only gotten worse with the Reuters merger.

Pros

At the front of news production, Reuters is/was a globally recognised brand that is/was known for its impartial reporting, hopefully this will continue under the new regime.

Cons

Job security, massive conglomerate, new corporate ethos. There is a lot of ill feeeling between legacy Reuters and legacy Thomson employess as to which is the best way to do things and the impression of "job stealing" when someone is let go and a person from the other side slips into the job.

Pros

Global company: being an international company makes people from all over the world feel welcomed. Lots of opportunity for development and career progression: There are plenty of opportunities for internal movement, easy to find new jobs and most managers are supportive of career development. Good flexibility if you are a woman: Maternity leave policy is very good and flexible working is at quite a decent level in the company. Many people work from home 1 or 2 days a week or come back after maternity on a part time basis. Environment: quite good environment, not stressing. Offices are open plan and only a few managers at the highest level have their own offices.

Cons

Salaries tend to be low compared to other industries. The differences with money paid in Banking or Investment are quite shocking. There's no official back-up for said flexible working, there are no clear rules, it's up to your manager to determine whether you can work form home or not, and it's knonw that some managers are strongly opposed to this option. A clear policy should be written so that workers could refer to it. Morale is low after the merge. Things are changing. It seems Thomson was not such a good company in terms of benefits and some of the good Reuters policies have not been adopted in the US. There has been a harmonisation in the UK. Lots of people are leaving.
