Pros

Thomson Reuters Corp is a large and stable company with very good benefits, flexible work schedules for employees and lots of vacation time given to new employees.

Cons

There are some downsides of working at Thomson Reuters. The culture tends to be quite bureaucratic and conforming to process is generally valued more than actual work-related accomplishments like solving a problem for a customer. There are constant training classes and eLearning seminars for new products and systems and almost none of it is applicable to most jobs. The pay is not great but you accept that since you're getting 4 and 5 weeks vacation and they let you work four 10-hour shifts.

Pros

Good exposure to technology. They have the best in hardware and software techonology in use today. With the Reuters merger, they are now a behemoth. The Search Engine is a great technology, comparable to the best. Great job prospects, with support for advanced education. A quarterly finacial awards program for developers to encourage innovation is a bright idea from HR. It really works. Very diversity oriented policies.

Cons

Very old school and hierarchical. They even don't have the work from home option, it need special permission. Holiday hours are very closely counted. No laptops for even senior engineers. Office environment is very professional, but there is a general lack of friendliness amongst the people here. The HR negotiated too hard over salary.

Pros

Large company that allows people to work with different people in the company. Good company brand that attracts customers to buy the service. The company therefore has the competitive marketing edge in comparison with other vendors.

Cons

Low salary and bonus in comparison with other financial institution. Management is not good in motivating staff and they do not have interest in retaining talented staff within the company
