Pros
big company with lots of job openings and really swell benefits packages.
Cons
Idiot management. Jumps on every new management theory bandwagon that comes down the pike, usually resulting in a re-org and layoffs. If any consultant book is on the NYT bestseller list, you can bet that within four months Lexis will be adopting it, hiring massively overpayed consultants to instill it, issuing wallet cards and doing workshops for mission statements, then doing the re-org and screwing everyone. Typically re-org or re-align business groups every six to ten months. Constantly making all middle-management re-apply for their own jobs: 1) pisses everyone off 2) re-sets salary scale. Incredibly short-sighted upper management; gross incompetence. Very nepotistic and favoritist. HR refuses to investigate incompetence, bad faith or workplace bullying. In comprehensible refusal to provide staff with training or resources. Incredibly outmoded proprietary software, or ripoff out-of-box stuff with high-prioced nonfucntional tweaks. IT is out of the 1980s...no staff, no support, constant irritant. Online services primitive as hell. Most astounding thing about this company is HOW GOOD THEIR STAFF IS, CONSISTENTLY and how awful the management, the culture, the support of staff, and how inferior the products. If management reformed, gioven the quality of the genertal staff, this company would go like gangbusters.
