Pros

The industry is going through a major shift, so there are plenty of opportunities for people with a high level of tolerance to frustration.

Cons

Locally, most people come from the companies Thomson adquired in the last two decades, which they never worked to integrate together. There´s an absolute lack of strategic direction. Powerpoint is king but ideas are rarely implemented fully. Also, local management team many times lacks the required seniority.

Pros

Some of the direct Managers and team members but only because everyone sticks together because there constantly change and unclear expectations from upper management.

Cons

*Unclear commissions spread across multiple tracking systems that don't line up including sales done on various salesforce portals. Many teams members gave up trying to track or follow up because we were so busy. *They treat businesses like dollar signs and employees like numbers. *They "laid off" managers on the Tax/Audit team, some who had been with the company for decades and were the most supportive of their teams. *They are focused on buying up other software companies and products without having any protocols or streamlines in place for them, not to mention they still haven't properly done so for acquisitions in the last 5+ years.
