Depends if you work on Eikon or not.........I don't, so I'm a dead man walking - Senior Project Manager Thomson Reuters Employee Review

I really wish I worked in the same team as some of these lucky people who have been posting positive reviews. But because my team doesn't work on the clunker that is "Eikon", it has been completed annihilated, and so have most other teams that I work with. I suspect I will be gone in December 2014, never to work or to contribute to the economy again. It is incredible that the senior management are so intellectually bankrupt that they have lapped-up everything that the Eikon management have sold them. (That is the flagship product, widely regarded by most as a piece of junk). The management actually, seriously believe that closing-down anything that isn't Eikon.....simply because it isn't Eikon.......is actually a good plan, even if those other products have loyal customer bases, and generate millions of dollars. I think the bottom line, echoed in other reviews, is that the management genuinely don't care about their employees, from the level of the most trivial thing, up to the most major. I suspect a lot of this is down to incompetence and the desire to save money, rather than any personal vindictiveness. For example, at the trivial level, people with 10-years long service awards sit next to people with 18 or 19 years service who have never received one. At the larger level, ex-Thomson employees are always made redundant in preference to ex-Reuters employees, as the former have their redundancy payments capped. The feeling of unease and mistrust this creates is almost palpable. And never underestimate the ability of the company to be downright crass. An e-mail of 8 paragraphs begins with 7 paragraphs of how great and wonderful the company is doing, and how brilliant everyone is, is then followed up by a final paragraph announcing 3000 redundancies for no good reason. Run.......as fast as you can.
