LexisNexis Risk Solutions reviews about "training"

Poor pay and bonuses, too liberal for my tastes.

Product knowledge appears to be tribal. If you're new, you have to rely on individuals for any sort of training and knowledge, so your're at the mercy of someone volunteering their time to "show you around". This makes it difficult for newcomers because their products and methodologies are proprietary. In addition, managers and directors lack any sort of transparency. I found tasks and projects had to be completed in a trial and error fashion, since you're never given concise instructions or requests.

Lack of training for new positions.

As an acquisition employee: -Human resources support is minimal to none -Was switched from a salaried engineer to an hourly one upon acquisition. The time reporting is full of bugs, the training is contradictory, and they will randomly dock my pay for no reason. -As an hourly employee, I have been asked not to report my actual hours - but am paid my hourly rate based upon task estimations. If the task takes longer, than I am not compensated. Defeats the point of being nonexempt. -Benefits website is horribly buggy, and when I tried to contact someone to manually enroll me in these things it took 4 weeks of me harassing them to do anything. -Important company emails regularly do not make it to our inboxes. -The computers they shipped us are so loaded with security spyware, and the specs so basic, there is no hope of developing any software on them. -The only health plan available to me is a high-deductible health plan with an HSA. As someone who lives with a chronic condition, this has put extreme financial burden on me and my family

You need to navigate the water by yourself, which can be a good thing. Very foreseeable career path. Training can be more structured and organized.

Poor work/life balance m- excessive travel Functional areas didn't work well together variable pay objectives constantly changed

Lacks sending employees for Training Lacks sending employees in Conferences Growth of company comes from acquisitions Personal Growth is limited

With the impending transition towards using corporate's software rather than our existing base code, our older projects were being replaced and need for that support caused job eliminations to occur. Once transition began, our office received more work yet processing that work only would be handled by the corporate program so there was not much our team had to work on.

Very little product training provided. Risk Solutions is a clique-type group where the favorites get the best customers and the most support. Sales oversells and everyone else pays the price in having to support customers who have been given unrealistic expectations.
