Pros

Flexible working and great colleagues.

Cons

The company does not actively engage or value hard working, quality employees. Those who talk the loudest get the furthest, despite having a lack of competence, knowledge or any management skills. Of course, that doesn't reflect all management, but a higher than average ratio. The company is also in a state of transition, and feels very unstable. There was a great atmosphere and general positive feel to the company when I first joined Thomson Reuters. This has largely disappeared since becoming Clarivate and the rate of quality talent loss is pretty shocking. And finally, Clarivate is process heaven, and not in an efficient way. I still have a tic from when I tried to order a new notebook. I've learnt to buy my own stationery now.

Pros

Opportunity to work with talented colleagues across North America, EMEA, and APAC. Flexible work environment with a strong emphasis on work-life balance for many teams. Complex, global business challenges that provide opportunities to develop operational, strategic, and cross-functional leadership skills. Exposure to enterprise transformation, AI, digital modernization, and large-scale operational initiatives. Collaborative teams with many dedicated employees who genuinely care about customers and each other. Ability to work with highly educated professionals across multiple disciplines and industries.

Cons

Organizational complexity and frequent restructuring can make decision-making slower than necessary. Roles, ownership, and priorities are not always clearly defined, which can create duplication of effort and reduce execution speed. Cross-functional collaboration varies significantly across organizations and often depends on individual leaders rather than consistent operating practices. Communication during organizational change could be more transparent and timely. Career progression can be challenging in certain parts of the organization due to ongoing structural changes. Continued investment in leadership alignment and organizational simplification would improve employee engagement and operational effectiveness.
