Pros

Good benefits and cheap healthcare.

Cons

1. Sean Fitzpatrick and Mike Walsh are heartless. Constantly cutting the workforce so that they can compensate for poor performance and get their bonuses. 2. The layoffs and re-orgs they make are poorly executed and often times, not given enough time to be executed before more cuts are made. Sean Fitzpatrick said, "If we get a re-org wrong, we quickly re-structure it to work." The executive team is not forward thinking. 3. DO NOT work here for marketing. The marketing department is extremely dysfunctional and has undergone 3 re-orgs in the last 12 months. The marketing leaders refuse to work together which results in over-saturation of the market and brand fracture. 4. They have a habit of laying off employees close to their 401k vesting date, retirement or coming back from maternity leave. 5. There is no opportunity for career growth. 6. LexisNexis is in the midst of a re-location out of Dayton, Ohio. Executives continue to tell people that Dayton is a "Center of Excellence" for sales, marketing and a few other areas. However, jobs are consistently cut and re-placed in Raleigh, New York or the Philippines.

Thanks for taking time to write your review. There are many good things happening at LN, which makes your comments disappointing to read. LexisNexis continues to grow and strengthen its foundation worldwide. We’ve seen significant improvements in our products over the last year, especially with analytics and in our users’ experience. As our momentum builds, our customers continue to respond favorably and tell us they like what they are seeing from us. As a global business, LexisNexis is constantly challenged to adapt to the demands of the marketplace. We are always looking at ways to improve how we operate. Taking on this challenge can be difficult for many teams – marketing is no exception. Our leaders continue to be very transparent with all employees about the decisions that are made. While change can be hard, the company is making great strides. Many employees are excited and energized by what’s happening here. With investments in advanced technologies, innovation spurred by internal teams and recent acquisitions, and commitment to advancing the rule of law around the world, people throughout LexisNexis are working hard to keep the company at the forefront of our industry. We’re grateful for them in every department that they serve. Thanks again for writing your review. Best of luck to you in the future.

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.
