Pros

Good work/life balance. People from middle management downwards are great at "keeping the show on the road" and really dedicated to the product.

Cons

People who worked on the Thomson Financial side are just waiting for the Reuters people to get shot of them. I understand the place has become massively more bureacratic since the merger. Rumours that Reuters regards itself as a branch of the British civil service appear to be true.

Pros

Work life balance. Flextime, and no expectation that "the best work takes place after five pm" like there is a lot of places. Quite a few people, even in senior management, come in early and leave early without it being a career limiting move. The technology organization is especially competent, and anyone with a good idea that can define the good idea in terms that the technology folks can understand is treated with respect and sometimes even adulation. The strategic marketing services organization is bright, strategic, analytical, and continues to be on the cutting edge. The content operations group and the content technology group are competent professionals led by competent professionals.

Cons

The segment marketing organization is a living embodiment of the Peter principle, with too many chiefs and not enough worker bees. They spend lots of money on themselves, promote only from within, and make life miserable for the rest of the company. There are good people in the organization, but they're drowned out by the idiots in charge and the high number of layers of management that insulate senior leadership from good ideas. New Product Development is OK, but too product-focused and not good listeners to the strategy folks (although they are correct in ignoring the segment marketers). The sales organization is focused on their numbers, and when they're not hitting them, they whine a lot.
