Pros

Flexibility with schedule and ability to work from home.

Cons

The company has been shifting over the past few years away from an old world legal print publisher to a software company, but they haven't put the resources into their engineers or the support behind the products to adequately support the sales teams. Morale is really low across the board. Most perks have been taken away. Lots of lay-offs every year and people leaving in droves for other companies.

Bully Culture

Pros

Big company benefits, some smart people you can learn great things from, professional facilities.

Cons

Aggressive, bully culture. Example: my second week, I was leading a conference call for a project that I had just been assigned. Since there is no onboarding or training, I was understandably still getting my bearings and did not even have access to tools that I would need to do my job. On the call were sales managers who actually started shouting at me because they were upset that this initiative was not further along than it was. After that call i was so upset by the behavior that I was shaking. I hoped this was an anomaly, based on some sort of misunderstanding, however different versions of this scenario have played out over and over during my time here (almost 1.5 years)

Thank you for your review, suggestion and valued contribution. Employee onboarding resources can be accessed via The Hub as well as Learning Maps for Employees on thePoint as you further develop your career path. Feel free to reach out to your manager and/or human resource representative to discuss further as the onboarding program which was rolled out in February is tailored for each individual and gives all new employees (since February 9) access to their individual onboarding tool – even prior to day 1. It is unfortunate that you have experienced a challenging interaction/exchange which is not condoned. As a part of holding ourselves and colleagues to a higher standard of thinking and conduct, we encourage all employees to attend the ongoing Values and Culture Web Workshops as they become available on the “Our Culture” calendar on The Hub. This interactive workshop is designed to make an impact on both the professional and personal life. Feel free to include your manager and/or human resource representative on potentially challenging interactions as well. We encourage constructive and engaged conversations internally and at the same time strive to remove obstacles along with being supportive of everyone's success.

Pros

Generally good people - real emphasis on "being global" and building the company brand. Decent work life balance. Strong technology architects and a commitment to new development

Cons

Sr management - those at the top are truly clueless. Head of HR for the company is living in the 90s using outdated methodologies that every company had abandoned even Microsoft. The head of legal came from Reuters, is British and hates the majority of the work force which is in Minnesota. Wants management to be in NYC while they cut costs and outsource work to Asia. Makes no sense but she is merely a figure head until the next figure head comes in who also will know nothing about our customers or the business of law. They are outsourcing all lower level jobs like real estate, desk top support and facilitates - it is dumbing down the work force so nothing gets done because no one knows anything.
