Dow Jones & Co. Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"Great history and brand reputation."

"I worked for Dow Jones (FACTIVA) for 18 years. It was a wonderful company to work for. I used to tell my new hires that if they didn't learn something new every day, they just didn't want to. We were on the cutting edge of technology and the learning opportunities never stopped. I enjoy the relationship that we had with our developers. I believe that I worked with some of the brightest and most talented people available. We put out quality products because we cared about what we did."

"I really enjoyed the people I worked with and the projects I worked on."

"Poorly managed at the CxO levels. Individual business units were managed much more professionally. I would definitely NOT recommend this company to anyone looking for a position."

"Left a bitter taste in my mouth."
