      Pros

      Lots of knowledgeable co-workers. Most managers are open to flexible hours and working from home.

      Cons

      After a recent change in upper management this place has gone downhill. Employees are told their pay raises are capped to 2.5%. No bonuses. Very few promotions while managers ask their best people to take on lead positions without offering them anything in return. Managers pay raises and bonuses are linked to employee reviews so employees are pressured throughout the year to give good reviews and are told their 2.5% raise is all the company can afford. Employee reviews involve no discussion of pay or compensation which they are told is controlled by HR. Upper management refuse to discuss pay and compensation at company meetings which they say is controlled by HR. Employees are misled to believe that HR is the sole controller of company money when it comes to pay and compensation. Upper management brags about saving money for the company which is directly related to their capping pay raises to 2.5%. Health benefits are horrible. You essentially pick from the ACA exchange. Company received a big tax break from recent tax law changes but didn't share any of it with employees. Management will ask employees to work overtime to get projects done and then after employees sacrifice to get the project out the door they're given little or no recognition. Developer tools are picked by management who are focused on reporting. Very little concern from management that the tool they pick actually makes the job harder.

      Thanks for taking time to write your review. There are many good things happening at LexisNexis. You’re right – the people here are great. They’re smart, enthusiastic and creative. They work hard to deliver everyday for our customers. Our managers make priorities clear and empower and trust employees to get their work done. And we have good work-life balance and flexibility. Generally speaking with regard to pay & promotion, most employees throughout the company are eligible to receive pay increases, promotions and annual bonuses when justified. These decisions are made first at the business unit level – what happens in one business unit may not apply at another, even if you operate out of the same office. Then decisions are informed by individual performance, current pay & market rates, business unit performance and the current business environment. Final outcomes will vary by employee. We do have recognition programs (including our Raleigh-specific “Leader of the Pack” awards). We offer competitive health benefits with a tremendous amount of choice from multiple providers at multiple levels, allowing you to match to your needs. We provide training in advanced technologies like machine learning, analytics and AWS and ongoing product development training. We offer state of the art dev tools intended to improve the caliber of work coming out of dev teams. Not everyone agrees or always likes the same tool, but our company works to balance tooling with the functional needs of a large enterprise. It’s worth noting that LexisNexis is a subsidiary of U.K.-based RELX Corp. In 2018, RELX was named among Forbes’ Most Innovative Companies. We have consistently invested in hiring great employees and developing employees in strategic areas of business growth to continue on this positive trajectory. If you have questions about your specific situation, please start a conversation with your manager or your HR business partner. Thanks again for writing your review and thank you for your service to our customers.

      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.
