Thomson Reuters reviews

Where to start... There are so many cons that it is impossible to list them all. It is a shame what Reuters has done to destroy a great Minnesota company and turned it into part of a greed worldwide corporate conglomerate. I feel certain that management would do just about anything for an extra dollar. The front-line supervisors are forced into compromising positions and are used as the axe men to chop the heads of the lowly employees while upper management continues to roll in the dough. This disgusting and immoral environment brings out the absolute worst in human nature and the behavior of the supervisors. It is a true cut-throat environment and only people willing to compromise their principles get ahead. Repulsive working conditions. Stay away unless you really need a paycheck and have no other options.

The biggest issue is insecurity due to inconsistency from executives. The company is constantly acquiring and divesting, and we re-organized so frequently it was almost a joke. This means lots of people live in constant, justified paranoia of being laid off. It seemed like we had a new executive team every 6 months, with new ideas about where we were going and how we would get there. It doesn't sound that bad, but by the time I left (I was laid off, obviously), I was exhausted and stressed from constantly trying to re-define my role and adjust to new bosses and new strategies. It was almost a relief to lose this job because I'd been expecting the layoff to come for so long -- not a great sign.
