Pros

Nothing. Whosoever has given a review about work life balance or work culture either they have not seen other "Good" companies or thats a fake review .

Cons

This place is unfit to work if you have achieved something in your life. The are insecure , unprofessional people who don't have basic level of understanding of process or the global work culture. After joining this company within a week I realised that I have made a wrong decision by joining this company. Let me list down my sufferings in this company: 1. My every word and action was noted and discussed. I had a constant feeling that I am being watched and this was not my imagination. This made me feel sick and gloomy. I have lost at lease 5 Kgs after joining this company. I never felt so helpless. 2. These people have a negative tendency to take suggestions for process improvement. Even if something is advised for good cause, it is taken at ego and not welcomed at all. I think the Old employees are here since 2010- 2011 and have made this place as a "Jungle Raaj". They don't fit anywhere up to market standards , However they rate themselves very high and consider them as if they are the Best. They have not upgraded them with time. 3. Environment is a big concern. They call it a captive but one cannot imagine that an office place can be no less than a "Club" or a "Mall". 4. My manager wanted me to reply to all his emails as soon as he sent it. Even if I had nothing to say in the email sent to the team ( Not particularity me) , he expected me to reply "Nothing from my side". If I did not reply then he used to send a reminder to reply. Trust me THIS IS NOT A JOKE. 5. They never value time. Calendar invite means nothing to them. They will accept the meeting invite and then decline at the last moment without even proposing a new time. They they will come back to you anytime , anyday for the meeting and will not give you any time to brush up or propose new time even if those meetings involve prior preparation. They expect you to be ready at any time they want. 6. They have a memory problem as well. They will forget what ever update you have given them and will keep asking you updates. Sometimes I wondered if they do it intentionally as how can a person forget in the afternoon what was told to them in the morning?? 7. These people work only for money. All they are concerned about is Bonus and Yearly appraisals. They will go to any level to save their job and work as robots or slaves of their managers. They don't even have any voice or opinion and will follow blindly whatever their manager will ask them. 8. This company does not have the basic level of infrastructure and employee health concern. The cafeteria and other facilities are even less than a BPO.

Pros

Paychecks show up on time although each year the strap you with an unachievable goal so they don't have to pay you what your target is

Cons

The worst executive team I've ever run into in my 27 year career. I worked there 7 years and each year they would give us a new VP that was even more clueless than the one the replaced. The administrative burden kills sales people and the clients are treated like they are the problem!

We acquire you, give you a number, then lay you off

Pros

Lots of innovative and intelligent people, good benefits, not too stressful (unless meeting a crazy deadline or in sales I would imagine), great work/life balance

Cons

IHS was at the time very acquisition heavy. They would acquire businesses, some of them that didn't fit their current portfolio (iSuppli, Screen Digest, Polk) and lacked any kind of direction for these stepchild acquisitions. IHS is a big company so unless you are up there in management, you are just a number. Layoffs happen about twice a year. If you come from an acquisition and you make too much money for your position, you will get chopped.
