      Pros

      Company is really trying to help the employees through the pandemic. Have given extra days off and CEO has emphasized to put your health and family first which is refreshing to see. The whole company was just given an extra half day off to celebrate our brands 2nd anniversary as "Cirium". Excellent commission structure for sales and the company is really putting effort into innovation and trying to evolve past being a data consolidator. I am also very impressed with the emphasis the company puts on inclusion and diversity, this is something all of RELX is committed to and it's refreshing to see! Cirium is going places and it's a great time to be a part of that growth!

      Cons

      Health insurance is more costly than I feel it should be.

      Bullying culture, sinking ship, poor managers on all levels.

      Pros

      Good vacation time, maternity and paternity leave, ok 401k match, benefits just ok.

      Cons

      Management is suffocating. They preach agile but do not even know themselves what agile is and yell at people trying to promote agile or otherwise block their efforts to be agile. Some managers have no idea how to handle employee conflict and blame and punish the wrong people or blow a small conflict out of proportion or, take a big conflict that is dragging down the team and don't handle it at all. Some managers are still a big part of day to day activities, micromanage and ruining employee morale. I have worked at a lot of places and this one has to be one of the worst cultures I have ever seen. It is very dysfunctional. The different teams do not effectively communucate causing alot of issues that could be easily prevented with proper processes. Management claims they are open to feedback, but don't bother, they don't want to hear it, if you try they yell at you. They say they value your professional growth, but that is impossible here, no growth opportunities and no direction either from managers. If you are in software QA, definitely stay away, testers are seen as not even existing and developers are held to a higher standard above and beyond anything I have ever seen at any other place I have worked at, even when developers are wrong ( and I am not a tester, I am a developer saying this, I have seen QA get alot of abuse here). Management is driving away their best strongest people and killing morale. Besides all this, its simply a sinking ship. They deal with the airline industry which is falling apart and not expected to be back for a long time. If you are desperate for a job, then take it and start looking again. If you have a job, my advice. Do not come here!
