Pros

Used to be great when we were owned by Thomson, it has declined more and moreover the years and become very bureaucratic, very clicky and leadership is not leading but telling everyone how it should be. The new CEO seems like he knows what he is doing but chased out the old and he will probably only be here a year or two until the next person comes in and changes everything.

Cons

Too many changes, too much variance in words vs actions Executive Leadership is not as transparent as the promise to be Too many secrets Too much change too quickly Too many layoffs of executives that have built this company Women not represented in leadership positions Work from home policy is all over the place based on what group you are in and what is expected of you in terms of days in the office Offices closings More layoffs expected in late 2019 and early 2020

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.
