Pros

I joined as an Intern. They have started a great internship program of 10 weeks. I got good exposure to the company, leadership and its different businesses. There was brown bag sessions of how the stock market works and all. As I was in technology, it was really helpful for me to learn about different verticals.

Cons

Sometimes you find yourself passing time as an intern. Everyone is too busy. You really need to approach different people and ask for work. If you have the guts to go and ask people to give you work, your experience might just be great. but it differs from person to person.

Pros

Friendly people when they're not trying to stab you in the back.

Cons

Once the Reuters acquisition took place, everything went down hill quite rapidly. It was a complete reverse merger, so TR basically took over everything...major/minor decisions, comp, etc., leaving everyone angry and non motivated. The division is ran completely backwards and the majority of the management is clueless, not to mention a complete lack of accountability. Think about it...nasdaq bought the reuters business unit for about $400 million. Why do you think that is? Its because the old reuters was not doing well, nasdaq took a shot at them, and in my (and everyone else's) opinion, they failed miserably.
