Thomson Reuters is rotting to its core. How do i know it? I worked there for 15 years!. The company is very good at retaining the wrong type of people. Capable ones either leave voluntarily or get laid off. Only the ones that have nowhere to go stick around, kissing asses and talking nonsense in order to get another job. Just see how many 'Global Heads' this company has. They create all kinds of vague roles so that those losers can have a job, roles like 'Global Head of Innovation', 'Global Head of Process Improvement'. This company doesn't have enough people who know the actual stuff and do the actual work. What it has are fat global heads that b---s--- around as a career. As a former employee i feel bad for the hard working colleagues but i can't wait to see what happens to those fat global heads!

TR has great talent; it also has not so great talent; classically, the latter tends to survive through political skills into management; managing day-to-day process; expanding them; with a focus on increasing headcount; whereas the former leave for better opportunities.
There is an interesting interview with the founder of Blackstone on the "people" they hire.

Harsh but True think the post is spot on
It’s a bit harsh sounding, but as a long term employee, it’s sadly pretty accurate tbh. It’s different in each unit/office/team, but if you don’t see all the bozos pulling a salary for c-ap work, poor decisions, and bad management, then you ARE probably one of them. (Sorry!)
I’ve stuck around because I’ve been fortunate to be successful and been given great opportunities. I put up with the frustration of working with some of these people. Some days I think it’s not worth it.
Wow. Venom.
