Pros

It's a large company with many resources when it chooses to use them. Fairly secure job during slow economic times. It's such a conglomerate of disconnected aquired companies that it is somewhat disfunctional. Too many Executives speaking board room eze instead of listening and communicating at all levels of the business.

Cons

Very conservative and slow moving company. This is beneficial in slow economic times but not very innovative. Very large amount of paper pushing and layers of management. Causes extremely slow reaction to market conditions and thus slow to nonexistent response to customers. Good people on staff but too much beauracracy to be of good at customer service.

Pros

Thomson Reuters is a globally recognized company which is on the cutting edge of nearly every industry we service.

Cons

Due to extensive growth through acquisition, Thomson Reuters often seems to have redundant and top heavy management structures which creates inefficient management and lack of upward mobility. Thomson Reuters also needs to do a better job of integrating acquired technologies, rather than maintaining vertical silos that essentially continue to function as standalone business units.

Pros

Reuters used to have a very laid back culture. It will be interesting to see how this changes as the merger progresses.

Cons

The Thomson culture appears to be much more aggressive with everyone fighting to have their voices heard. The culture has some negative aspects such as copying in lots of people to relatively unimportant emails. They also seem to work much longer hours with emails from Blackberries over Xmas and at strange hours of the day common. perhaps people are just worried about job security.
