Pluspunten

- They attract some talented, genuine people. But makes friendships fast, these people usually leave within a year. - Free lunch every other Wednesday?

Minpunten

- Your political game needs to be strong to even survive here. First, be sure to not upset anyone from the old Thomson Reuters regime. Second, be as fake as possible with everyone, including your clients. And third, if you have a complaint or suggestion for improvement keep it to yourself (and never ever share them with HR). - If your political game fails, or you just don't care to play along, you will be exposed to some questionable HR practices. A favorite of One North seems to be the "torture them until they want to leave" method. We're talking asinine improvement plans, weekly check-ins and the eventual excommunication from co-workers that have been turned against you. Why do they do this? Probably because they don't actually have a good reason to fire anyone - they just don't like you because they know you don't like them. - Speaking of work - don't expect a feeling of fulfillment - it's all mindless. You've got Ivy League educated twenty somethings entering tickets for a broken link into an outdated system. Or repurposing old wireframes and designs for new clients because, well, law firms aren't really all that different from one another, are they? And it's all being built on some of the most limiting, antiquated technology out there. - And you can expect the technology to fail you, often. Know that if you accept an "account" position, you will be placed on an on-call rotation that will require you to respond to client "emergencies" 24 hours a day, several weeks out of the year. - Oh, no one told you?? Hmmm....maybe it's because the only people you are allowed to interview with have drank the Kool Aid and are comfortable following a strict script.

We appreciate your feedback and it is disheartening to learn your experience at One North was not a positive one. We pride ourselves on the talent we have as well as the talent we recruit. It is because of this that we feel strongly about maintaining a high caliber of performance. Improvement plans are meant to provide the tools, support and feedback employees need to be successful in their role and at One North. We value the fact that our employee turnover is much lower than other businesses of our size and within our space. Our history with Thomson Reuters is something we have put in the past, but that doesn't mean the deep relationships former Thomson Reuters employees built with each other disappear. These types of shared experiences, which include overcoming challenges and celebrating successes, is what One North is built on, and we regret you couldn't take a larger part in them. As a business that continues to expand, we recognize the need for more structured processes between departments, including HR and Leadership. Your input will contribute to these developments, so we thank you. We also wish you the best of luck on your next adventure. - John & Jeff

This is easily the best job I've had in my career. The culture is open, entrepreneurial, and filled with kind, talented people. The quality of the work is off the charts and well balanced between multiple disciplines. And our client base is wonderful. Get to work on the biggest brands. Really happy to have landed this role.

Minpunten

401k and HSA contributions could be better - but honestly it's hard to find a con to bring up.
