Pros
Ability to work from home. Exposure to latest technology.
Cons
Absolutely ZERO loyalty to its employees. You can break your back for this company, work many overtime hours, and act as their slave, and you WILL be kicked to the curb at the drop of a hat! If they can outsource your job, which is highly likely in IT, you will never feel comfortable and secure while working at Thomson. Individual contributions above and beyond the job are NOT recognized. You are simply a number! Raises are non-existent, and forget about bonuses. TR is constantly shifting more of the employee costs to the employees. You will be paying more and more for your benefits each year. If you like high stress situations, no recognition for your efforts, constant reorganizations, and the fear of losing your job on a weekly basis, then Thomson is for you. Otherwise, avoid it like the plague! I have been there close to twenty years and have seen this company take a nose dive. Top management doesn't have a clue when it comes to human resource management! Totally oblivious to what goes on beneath them, and couldn't care less. I cannot even recall how many different people I have worked for. Constant management changes completely disrupts and destroys the working environment. Remote managers may never even meet you, but they can somehow accurately report on your performance. Remote managers always favor employees that are local to them, and shaft everyone else. The climate at this company is counterproductive, demoralizing, and totally depressing! If you still wish to work here, gain the knowledge that you are looking for and jump ship before they sink you! You've been warned....
