Pros

There are many good people at Reed Tech and the atmosphere is nice, the company is growing and there are opportunities for advancement. On-site cafe is a plus and a free membership to the Horsham Athletic club is also a good perk.

Cons

The health insurance benefits are not great if you actually have health problems or have the misfortune of being in an accident. Vacation and sick time are also combined into PTO. Combined PTO isn't really sufficient enough to have a vacation and take time off if you are unlucky enough to fall ill. Production employees also have fairly strict schedules which may be difficult for some to juggle work/life balance.

LexisNexis Reed Tech Response

Thank you for taking the time to write a review- I agree there are many great people at Reed Tech. The health insurance landscape is in a constant state of change and costs increases passed on to employer are out of control. RELX, our parent company, like many other companies, spends considerable time trying to dial into the right balance; plans that offer great benefits and plans that help to manage costs. It’s a difficult task but RELX makes a significant effort annually to assure their plans are highly competitive to the market. The feedback on the combined PTO is mixed- Employees who rarely call out, are happy to have what they feel are additional PTO days, to use as they wish vs the split of let’s say 10 days of PTO and 8 days of sick time. In addition at Reed Tech, employees can carry PTO over at the end of the year, so it isn’t a use it or lose it situation. We recognize no plan is perfect for everyone but the general feedback on PTO has been positive. Thanks again for the feedback.

Pros

Work Day Flexibility Infrequent office visits - 4x a month fairly decent pay

Cons

- Promotions very difficult - attractive positions already earmarked for internal candidates prior to posting the req - high probability of pigeonholing - org is extremely reactive and tends to ignore suggestions until something becomes a problem - highly unorganized - very difficult to get answers or solve problems due to ambiguity in ownership of responsibilities/roles - unfair distribution of support across BU's - lack of organization tends to cause unnecessary stress - you need to have strong boundaries otherwise work/life balance can become non-existent
