Pros

The only pro I can think of is sponsorship (which they have recently cut substantially).

Cons

IHS Markit is absolutely disgusting. The only positive reviews are the ones added by HR. There is absolutely NO CULTURE at all. Hard work is not rewarded (no salary increase, ridiculous bonus, no extra vacation days). They are now hiring only people who just got out of college, to pay them nothing and squeeze them as much as they can. You have a feeling every one at the company is aware of this, the topic comes up naturally in conversations. Every one knows he/she would have to leave sooner than later. You have a feeling everyone wants to exploit the company as much as it exploits you (thus people leaving the office early, or just being idle at work, etc), no one cares about doing any extra because you would not get any reward or be appreciated for it. I have seen so many faces coming and going in just a matter of 2 years. No one wants to stay, aside from management because only management gets the money and treat employees like trash. The review below about "people with no technical skills getting senior positions" is absolutely on point. In my group a simple associate was raised to head of the group, while there were many other senior associates in the same group - just because of politics. This should give you an idea of how distant meritocracy and IHS Markit are. As for career opportunities, they are simply non-existent. I would not recommend this company to a freshly graduated college student, if experience is what he is looking for. Go do your training elsewhere, you would learn more somewhere else for sure. In my group, there were no promotions in like 4 years.....

Pros

A technology company so far behind that there is always interesting projects going on. In the past year executive leadership seems to have some focus and it does not feel like organization ADD. Benefits are very competitive.

Cons

A very consistent pattern of RIF's every few months. It is interesting that it is not always the lower performers, be very careful expressing an opinion for progress to middle management or you will very likely find yourself on the next RIF list. This is a management team that thinks they know it all. There are very few examples of leaders in this group, most are bosses, will make sure to tell you how to do the job. If you are coming in make sure to get a very good understanding of the expectation of role and responsibilities. If you are skilled you will be taken advantage of and asked to contribute at higher grade levels but performance and advancement is very subjective and there is no transparency in organizations like IT about what it takes to move to next levels. Unless of course you are playing that middle management stroking feathers game right..
