Held back by RELX

Pros

- Lots of opportunity to move around - offices across the globe and a lot of different teams - Keen to make the right technical decisions - a lot of plans are made to centralise data and fix technical debt - Good security culture - there's a lot of mandatory training (50 hours+) and a big push around this

Cons

- Massively held back by RELX/LexisNexis - poor choices are made up high and forced down on Cirium (RELX is obsessed with Microsoft) - Bizarre processes can make everything take twice as long as they should, too much is done by service desk tickets... - Everything is drowned in marketing and branding - Cirium is five disparate companies underneath (from aquisitions) with very little collaboration between them - Laptops are bloated with multiple antiviruses and 'security' programs

Thank you for the positive feedback recognizing Cirium’s strengths in global opportunities, making the right technical decisions and ensuring a good security culture. As Cirium consumes and normalizes data from more than 2,000 sources, it’s great that you commend the efforts to do this securely. It is good for us to hear your feedback on how we can improve. For all the areas you raise, we will address these in our business reviews internally. In regard to being held back by our parent company RELX, your comment on the technology obstacles is noted, but please know there are multiple benefits to being part of RELX, one being the backing of a company that invests heavily in innovation and technology. In terms of the acquired businesses under the Cirium umbrella, we are working towards a “One Cirium” but this does take time. Our collaboration has improved and we will continue to work on this and break down any siloes. If you would like to share more details or discuss the areas addressed here, please speak with your line manager or respond on our confidential employee engagement Pulse survey. Our survey is designed to implement actions for improvement. Thank you again for your insight.

Pros

Good office location. Good earning potential if you perform well.

Cons

- Micromanagement - No real time "off", you are harassed even when on holiday - No flexibility or work-life balance, you are expected to live in the office - Unrealistic targets, management always wants more - Awful culture, you are just a number and if you are not a "yes man" then they will find ways to make you leave - Sexist/misogynistic behaviour from some of the managers - You will receive poor performance reviews no matter what you do so they don't have to give you salary increase
