Pros

Great benefits, holidays, floating holidays, 2 paid volunteer days per year, generous time off. Fairly flexible on hours in most departments.

Cons

Absolutely no room to grow. No development, can't move up even though they claim you can. Even changing departments doesn't help. They hire from outside to find Directors and hire-ups much of the time. Extremely disheartening. You eventually give up trying...and start trolling Glassdoor to see what else is out there. Good luck with raises, too. It's all a "pool." The highest you'll get is 2% and it's based on how well you do compared to your co-workers in your department. If one does better, they get a higher percentage...and it takes from the others. They have no problem giving out "Average"or "Partially Achieved" reviews to employees to justify giving more to those who "Exceeded." You feel guilty when you get more, resentment when you get less. And everyone is pissed off when they hear their friends of similar talents and experience are moving up in their companies, getting well-deserved pay, and bonuses.

Pros

Without a doubt, the best coworkers I have ever worked with. Everyone is thoughtful, funny, supportive, and caring. There is no competition--everyone tries to help everyone else for the best possible outcome.

Cons

Unfortunately, despite having such incredible, talented employees, the company does not want to invest in their employees and doesn't care about mental well-being. There is a focus on money and nothing else. Every November, the company "reorganizes," meaning no one is safe. There is little care or regard for people who have been there for decades, and they are often tossed aside. Morally, Thomson Reuters is reprehensible. Jim Smith, the CEO, isn't much better. He constantly uses awful corporate/political buzzwords that rarely mean anything. In 2018, there were massive layoffs. A ton of new positions were created, but so many people were unhappy with the corporate culture that they left. As a result, the company has a massive number of openings and people are aware they shouldn't work there. Customers were not happy with the changes. Employee morale is in the toilet--and everyone knows it. I could not recommend ever working at TR.
