Pros

Nice campus, good co-workers, high 401k match, generous PTO, good overall benefits, a lot of folks still very dedicated trying to make LN successful.

Cons

Persistent and rampant cost cutting (i.e. cost challenges every other month). Frequent downsizing (headcount reductions) and department reorganization’s. Super low moral (i.e. internal NPS in my dept -40). Pending Dayton data center closure, IT staff relocation to Raleigh, NC, negative raises (-4.5%) for all Dayton IT (regardless of performance), likely Dayton campus relocation (~2-3 years out) due to oversized existing footprint. HUGE amortization’s now hitting that simply accelerate the current cost cutting only to remain at current overall cost levels (and they want to raise the OI even higher). Letting all the talented leaders go, a lot of the remaining A-list talent is simply leaving. The rest waiting for their severance package. Witnessing a future Harvard Business Case first hand. It’s so sad and frustrating!!!

Thanks for taking time to write your review. There are many good things happening at LN, which makes it disappointing to read some of your comments. LN is coming off one of its best years. We saw significant improvements in our products and customers continue to respond to us favorably. As a global business, we must adapt to changing customer needs around the world. And we’re making great strides in doing it. Our leadership has been transparent about our overall strategy for succeeding in the marketplace. Every market measure reveals that we must challenge ourselves to do things differently from before. It requires changes in technology, changes in skills sets, and changes in ways of thinking -- the old ways no longer work in today’s business environment. While not everyone will agree on any given approach, we have a strong leadership team in place that’s moving us forward and achieving great results for our customers and employees worldwide. Our strength as a company is rooted in the character and uniqueness of our people. As you point out, we are fortunate to have talented people across the organization that contribute to a collaborative and professional work environment. We continue to invest in employee training and improve communication about every facet of our work. In a perfect world everyone would join us on this journey. Many people choose not to continue forward. And unfortunately, we are unable bring everyone along. But there are, and always will be, many exciting opportunities to do great work and advance in this company. Thank you again for your review and for your service to LexisNexis.

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.
