Pros

Diversity and inclusion, what else?

Cons

Unrealistic deadlines and frequent priority changes created a stressful work environment. Management communication often felt disorganized, making it difficult to plan work effectively. Work-life balance has declined over time as expectations increased. Compensation appears below market rates for similar roles in the area. Budget reductions have affected employee events and other workplace perks. HR was not perceived as an effective channel for addressing employee concerns.

Your perspective as a Senior Software Engineer in Raleigh is helpful, especially after several years with the business and during a period of rapid change in technology and AI. It’s good to know that team culture and a sense of belonging have stood out as positives in your experience. You’ve also touched on areas that strongly shape engineering work over time: pace, priorities, communication, workload, and support. Engineering teams do their best work when priorities are clear, communication is steady, and people have room to focus. Across LexisNexis, our technology teams build tools that support real decisions for customers, which brings both responsibility and complexity. Some changes in prioritization reflect the dynamic market we operate in, external competition, and the need to deliver at pace for our customers. At the same time, we are mindful of the impact on teams and continue to monitor workloads and accommodate where possible. Wellbeing is part of how we support that work: many roles include flexible working models, and colleagues have confidential support through our Employee Assistance Program, plus resources for mental, physical, and financial wellbeing. Conversations with managers and HR partners, as well as employee surveys, are also ways colleagues can surface concerns and help leaders focus on alignment and follow-through. Compensation is part of that overall experience as well. Our approach is informed by external market data, role scope, performance, and business context.

It’s wonderful to read that your experience at LexisNexis included strong work–life balance and good management. From a Senior Data Scientist’s perspective, that combination matters a lot, especially in work that requires focus, collaboration, and room to solve complex problems well. You also touched on compensation, which is an area we approach with structure and care. Pay decisions are guided by external market data, internal role alignment, performance, and the scope of each role. We also look at total rewards more broadly, including incentive opportunities and long-term financial wellbeing resources where they apply, so colleagues are supported beyond base salary alone. The work of our Data Science teams helps power trusted information, analytics, and AI-driven workflows used by customers in high-stakes settings. We’re glad the culture and management support made a positive impression during your time here. Thank you for your contributions to LexisNexis, and all the best in your next chapter!

Pros

PTO, colleagues that became great friends

Cons

untamable sales goals, never having your goals on time, terrible benefits, terrible raises if you got one at all, comp plans are terrible, your goals would go up, but your percentage of pay would go down. The better you did in sales, the next each your goals would increase significantly. Making it harder and harder to reach your goals year after year. Someone would leave the company, get fired or retire, that work gets piled onto you and there is no compensation for it. More work, less pay.

After more than a decade with LexisNexis in Sales, your perspective carries real weight. It is good to hear that your immediate manager and the friendships you built with colleagues stood out during your time here. Your review also raises an important part of the sales experience: how goals, rewards, account ownership, and leadership support come together over time. In our sales teams, clarity and consistency matter. We continue to work toward a more unified sales framework that gives sellers stronger processes, more useful account insights, and better operational support. Compensation is reviewed using market data and internal role alignment, with decisions shaped by role scope, performance, and business context. For sales roles, that also includes performance-based incentives as part of the broader total rewards approach. The work our sales teams do directly supports customers across law, business, and government, and strong customer relationships remain central to how we operate. Your decade of service represents a significant contribution to LexisNexis and to the customers you supported. Thank you for the role you played while you were here, and we wish you continued success in what comes next.
