Neutral OutlookI worked at Dow Jones full-time
Pros
Team culture Interesting mix of products Well regarded among existing client base Leader in the Risk & Compliance Market with Thomson Reuters.
Cons
Lower salaries than competitors, this may be being looked at currently Certain degree of nepotism when looking at senior positions - "boys club" Went through a phase of trying to be "Bloomberg Lite" but this is no longer being pursued.

Pros
Great atmosphere and corporate culture. Plenty of employee resources, whatever your needs. Great location by London Bridge.
Cons
London is a satellite HQ to the New York office and that can really be felt at times. Not a lot of room for professional development or career progression in EMEA. A lot of reorgs and restructures that affect junior employees' development.

Pros
Wonderful non-management level coworkers. The office building is newly renovated with free coffee.
Cons
Management is toxic, hierarchical, and petty. Low growth and even lower morale. In particular, the work atmosphere is designed to resemble a modern factory. The workers are pushed to author reports in which they have no say, and are subsequently penalized for not meeting fluid and subjective criteria. Management is particularly inept at listening and actively participates in making the distinction between the 'workers'...
